Custom Electric Guitars – Handcrafted in Utah
At De Houtwinkel – Utah School of Lutherie, we specialize in building custom electric guitars that combine precision craftsmanship with your unique vision. Every instrument is designed and built by hand in Logan, Utah, using carefully selected tonewoods and professional-grade hardware. Whether you dream of a classic Strat-style build, a modern high-gain shred machine, or a truly one-of-a-kind design, we work with you from concept to final setup.
Our custom guitar builds aren’t just about looks — they’re about sound. Each guitar is fine-tuned for resonance, sustain, and playability, ensuring it performs beautifully on stage, in the studio, or at home. From neck profiles and pickup configurations to finishes and hardware, every detail is tailored to your playing style.
