SWK 005

I made this guitar in my 200 square foot shop in the Westwood neighborhood of Kalamazoo from rough sawn North American hardwood lumber (@rslhardwoods). A strong focus on comfort, playability, and sound make this guitar a complete joy to play. Handmade subtle touches from the pickguard made to cross grain laminations and unique turned walnut knobs demonstrate the time and attention to detail used when making this instrument.

I stand behind my work and offer a lifetime warranty on workmanship. I will also set the guitar up with your choice of strings to ensure that when you take ownership it plays exactly how you like, intonates perfectly, and is ready to rock.
