Chris' Customs

about Chris' Customs

Since 2009, I’ve been knee-deep in customizing and building instruments from the ground up. Every guitar I currently own has had my personal touch, from crafting and selling “parts-caster” guitars to transforming run-of-the-mill pawn-shop finds into bespoke custom players. It all kicked off years ago while noodling around a local guitar shop, toggling between flashy high-end axes and their more modest mid-price siblings. Sure, they sounded worlds apart when plugged in, but their feel? Not so much.

That’s when it clicked: hardware and electronics aren’t set in stone. Swap in high-quality parts tailored to the guitar’s unique voice, pair that with a killer setup and fret-finishing, and suddenly you’ve got magic. My very first pickup swap was the spark that ignited a full-on obsession with instrument customization.

Since then, my mission’s been clear—bring out the best in every instrument through expanded tonal possibilities, upgraded hardware, and quirky features that make your guitar unmistakably yours.
