Do you know what does custom shop means? Like custom shop cars and motorcycle, furniture. With Top Guitars it pertains to woodworking, most of us would define a custom shop as one dealing with made-to-order goods with certain specifications. Someone comes into my realm with a certain vision. That vision may be on a set of architectural prints or still locked in their brain waiting for extraction. In either case, it’s a vision or plan that they have, not me.


A good custom shop will have insight based on their experience that will help make the project better. That’s part of being custom — making concepts a reality. But there is more to running a custom shop than simply having the ability and experience to create someone’s dream. Figuring out what that is requires a little digging. The concept is buried in first understanding the other meanings of the word custom. Although “made-to-order” is a correct characterization where you can personalized the headtsock with your name or initials and you can CUSTOMIZE YOUR GUITAR: Mahogany, Alder, Maple, Bass Wood, Right/Left handed guitar, Body colour, Neck profile, No dots on fretboard and Fret size.Our Custom Shop Guitars referred to in this site as drawing "inspiration" from the major guitar brands and any reference to custom shop brand names or "Inspired by" are made strictly for comparison purposes only.


We build TTGC custom electric & acoustic guitars using the finest materials and components. Having a custom guitar made for you has many advantages, the obvious one being that you choose the style and feel of your instrument. You have the benefit of having a unique instrument built to your personal specifications and being able to choose the materials and components yourself. We make all bodies and necks in our own workshop so neck profiles and body contours can be decided and tried at different stages in the build. When you have a custom guitar built you have the choice of pickups, hardware and colours. We are experts in building electric guitars with a vintage sound, feel and look. We can age the hardware and the paint can be chipped and cracked to achieve an aged and used look or we can build you a guitar that looks like it’s been in a case in the loft for 40 years. With all of our guitars, we use only the best woods as well as top quality hand-made pickups and the best switches, pots and inputs available. We specialise in building small bodied acoustic guitars using only the finest materials. Each guitar has a unique sound depending on the woods used. Each guitar is completely hand made, with hand scalloped bracing and the bridges are cut and shaped individually and fitted with bone saddle for a very lively sound.
