Shaw Custom Guitars

Welcome to Shaw Guitars. Each guitar I make is painstakingly handcrafted: synthesizing each individual design from a unique choice of beautiful exotic woods, customized electronics, and the best available hardware to produce a work of art that sounds as exotic as it looks. The first time you pick up a Shaw Guitar is like meeting an old friend, comfortable and familiar. But, like an old friend you've not seen for a while there are always new things to discover. 

Obviously you're not here because you're interested in an electric guitar that is made by automata, or a manufacturer whose best instruments were designed and produced decades ago.  Maybe you're looking for a electric guitar that melds the timelessness of those designs with an old-school attention to detail and a fresh look at new technologies and components yet in which form follows function. And when the form is as simply gorgeous as a Shaw Guitar, the function should be obvious.  Beautiful instruments make beautiful music...get your fingers on one!
