Edney Handmade Guitars

My shop produces one of a kind, heirloom quality instruments on a limited basis. My guitars are original designs, influenced by early American flat tops, which adhere to a minimalist aesthetic. I build exclusively with domestic hardwoods such as Black Walnut, Cherry, and Maple, with Spruce tops and bracing. I assemble each guitar with hot hide glue and finish them in a combination of oil varnish and nitrocellulose lacquer. Necks are hand carved from raw stock matching the body’s wood species and attached with a traditional tapered dovetail joint. Sunburst tops and other colors are achieved by hand rubbing unadulterated dyes directly into the wood. Each guitar comes with a lifetime warranty and can be brought to me at any point for repair, restoration and return to original specifications.
