At Bad Dog Custom & Relic Guitars, we build authentic vintage-style guitars, handcrafted with carefully selected tonewoods, hand-wound pickups, and pure nitrocellulose lacquer – no plasticizers, just the closest thing to the classic finishes from the ’50s and ’60s. Each instrument is aged to a fully realistic vintage look, with the tone, feel, and personality of legendary blues and rock guitars.
We work with top-quality materials and trusted suppliers to bring your fully custom guitar to life.
