"Seeing this raw lumber come to life into these guitars...that is super exciting to me. Being in a workshop, it's the best. It's fun."
~ Josh Williams
Josh Williams' journey into guitar building started with a deep-seated passion for engineering, hands-on craftsmanship, and a lifelong love of music.
What began as a suggestion from a friend has evolved into a thriving endeavor where Josh and his dedicated California-based team pour their heart and soul into every instrument they create.
Vintage Soul, Distinct Identity
Josh’s guitars aren't meant to be super accurate replicas of iconic instruments; they combine the woods and construction of classic designs along with a refined elegance to create a voice and feel all its own. That blend of familiar and fresh is exactly why players flock to his instruments.
Dynamic tone that bridges eras
These guitars a Les Paul‑like punch and fullness while retaining a chimey top end. They stay clear and articulate whether you’re playing clean or pushing into overdrive, making them incredibly versatile.
Player‑focused builds
Josh and his small California team build each guitar to feel broken‑in from the first chord. Each instrument carries its future owner’s name, reflecting the personal care and tailored craftsmanship that define their work.
