I always wanted a custom guitar, but no matter how hard I tried to save, I could never seem to get the money together for a 'true' custom. Later in life, after running my own succesfull business for many years,I finally had the money. I contacted a "prominent" guitar company,only to discover that my dream custom was going to cost nearly $7,000.00. Once I swallowed my wallet and took a few breaths. I hung up the phone and decided... surely I can do this less expensive on my own. I had been playing guitar since 1977. I began rebuilding and refinishing, rather crudely, my own guitars in 1980. Being an experienced wood craftsman,time, maturity, and patience, all came together in 1996, and my dream custom guitar came to fruition at my hand: for a lot less than $7,000.00 with more options. After a number of friends and a few different guitar shops had played it, I kept being asked "Where did you get this guitar?" to which I could proudly respond... "I built it myself." Some of those friends immediately wanted one with the guitar shops remaining a bit skeptical.

In 1997 my wife graduated trade school. I built her dream guitar as a graduation present. The friends and local musicians were again, impressed by this guitar. The local guitar shops were now taking notice. So my wife and I decided to take a chance & start ED's custom Guitars. Being a working musician for a number of years, I know how hard it is to have a good quality guitar that doesn't break the bank. Our guitars offer playability,beautiful finishes, and a nice balance: features that are found in guitars costing thousands more. We offer a variety of woods including exotic woods, custom radius necks, handcrafted headstock design, and, of course, all our bodies are crafted to meet your desire. The sky is the limit. We have anything from custom pickups to custom wiring.Our strat 'style' guitars, if you choose, can have up to 7 way wiring options. Our Les Paul'style' and Paul Reed Smith 'style' can have up to a 9 way wiring option.

Inspiration is truly at your fingertips.

We are a small family oriented business.

Each guitar is handcrafted by my wife and myself. ED's is just that: My wife and me.. Eric & Dee.. ED's..with our wish to inspire struggling & experienced musicians to reach for the sky.
