"Being responsive helps but there is something else in that equation, an overall feel or vibe that is very important. I don’t know how to quantify it but I know it when I feel it."
~ Burton LeGeyt
Since 2005, builder Burton LeGeyt has made every guitar by hand in his Brookline, MA shop, one at a time, with total control from first shaving of wood to final setup. What started as a fine‑arts background quickly turned into a deep passion: crafting guitars with discipline, care, and a designer’s eye for materials and detail.
LeGeyt’s guitars strike a rare balance: lightweight and responsive, yet powerful and expressive. He builds with an eye toward tradition - vintage‑inspired shapes, carefully selected tonewoods - while embracing modern fabrication techniques and clean, thoughtful design.
These are guitars that feel just right in your hands, while delivering a wide dynamic range, balance, and clarity for any style.
One‑builder, one‑guitar‑at‑a‑time
Every instrument is individually crafted and hand‑voiced, ensuring consistency, soul, and a uniquely personal tone.
Attention to detail, balance & responsiveness
Light weight with a wide dynamic range - great for fingerstyle, flatpicking, recording, or live use.
Vintage feel meets modern design
Classic lines and tonewood choices with refined ergonomics and build quality make each guitar as beautiful as it is playable.
