Established in 2016, St. Germaine Custom Guitars aims to build bespoke, high-quality musical instruments to meet the player’s vision of sound and aesthetic. Using the highest-quality materials available and suppliers producing the very finest parts, we build instruments that will exceed your expectations of fit and finish. My experience as a bassist in a number of professional groups along with my good fortune to have owned and been able to service a wide range of boutique instruments has led me to my vision of my instruments, which are tonally diverse, comfortable, expertly crafted instruments that are exceptionally easy to setup and adjust to the player’s needs.

I have experience in many areas of guitar and bass design and manufacturing and I am happy to build instruments with a wide range of vintage and modern appointments. From vintage-inspired steel string acoustic guitars to modern multiscale headless basses and everything between, we can produce a unique instrument to meet the requirements that an off-the-shelf instrument cannot.

My experience as a bassists has undoubtedly influenced the popularity of my basses, however, I still craft a considerable number of bespoke, high end guitars every year.

When you choose to commission an instrument, I will work with you to ensure a complete understanding of your needs and vision. This involves beginning our consultative process:

I am always excited to begin work on new instruments. I look forward to working with you!
