THE STORY BEHIND GARRETT GUITARS

Built on curiosity.
Driven by imagination.

From a one-person workshop in the northern United States come guitars designed to be anything but ordinary.

01 / THE BEGINNING

A lifelong fascination, finally brought to life.

What began as a love of woodworking and a childhood fascination with guitar and amplifier electronics grew into a passion for designing and building electric guitars.

In early 2022, after years of thinking about building a guitar, I finally began exploring design ideas. One promising concept became a starting point, but as I added my own touches and began the build, something clicked: guitar making brought together the things I loved most.

And it sparked a bigger idea. If every musician has a different sound and stage presence, why should their instruments all look the same?

THE IDEA

The unusual. The remarkable. The unmistakably yours.

Original, distinctive designs are at the heart of Garrett Guitars. But familiar silhouettes have their place, too: the real joy is bringing an instrument to life, whatever its style.

02 / THE WORKSHOP

Made by hand. Made with purpose.

With more than 1,500 square feet of shop space and the tools to turn ideas into instruments, the workshop is where the experiments, decisions, and details come together.

From shaping wood to refining the final result, every build is an opportunity to make something with its own character.
