Horizon Guitars Custom Shop
Why choose us for your next custom guitar build?
As musicians ourselves, we understand that your instrument is an extension of you. Just as a brush is a painter's means of expression and creation, your guitar can be a tool of limitless potential. But a poorly made or designed guitar is also the reason many new players are quick to throw in the towel for good. We believe your guitar or bass should play smooth as butter, sound like a choir of angels, and keep your audience's gaze at every gig. There are many guitars that could fill this role, but few fill it like a custom guitar you personally spec'd from strap button to headstock. We promise to work with you from concept to delivery and beyond to create a truly one-of-a-kind guitar of your dreams!
We'd love to build your next guitar or bass; and we don't take the responsibility lightly. You will work with our custom shop to design every part of your next custom instrument from start to finish. Have questions during the process? We love to help! Have no fear, we guarantee you'll love the instrument we craft for you. Try your guitar or bass out for a full 2 weeks. If for some reason you don't absolutely love the guitar, contact us and we promise to make it right until you're completely satisfied with your purchase!
Many instrument manufacturers offer "custom" instruments, but few are conscientious about the final cost to you the customer. We've spent years scratching our heads wondering "why do custom guitars cost so much?" While it's true there is generally a higher cost associated with custom USA-made instruments compared to mass produced imports, at Horizon Guitars, we believe custom guitars and basses don't have to cost a small fortune. We also don't believe value has to also mean low quality. Our shop utilizes a mix of new technology and tools with old school techniques to provide a product nearly unheard of in the industry: affordable, custom instruments.
Horizon Guitars electric guitars and bass guitars are all hand built one at a time at our custom shop located in Falconer, NY. We're a small OEM of the finest electric guitars and basses. Our size is our advantage. How can we offer custom instruments at prices lower than our competition you ask? That's easy! When compared to many of our larger competitors, we have much less overhead. We don't mass produce our instruments on assembly lines. This allows us to offer nearly limitless customization options while keeping our prices fair.
At Horizon Guitars, when we say custom, we mean custom! Most of our competitors offer "custom guitars", but most are along the same concept: you pick from a short list of predetermined options, select a finish, some tone woods, and your hardware. Then you get placed on a 6-12+ month waiting list, anxiously awaiting for the day your guitar is finally delivered. Is something custom because it was expensive? Made in an exclusive factory by a specific luthier? Most of the time the "custom shop experience" isn't so custom after all. Horizon Guitars offers nearly limitless options on our instruments. We don't do this because its easy or convenient for us, we do it simply because you want us to. We manufacture every custom guitar one-by-one to your exact specs at our New York, USA-based shop. With Horizon Guitars, you MUST love your instrument, so we let you try it out for 2 weeks risk-free and back all our instruments with a limited lifetime warranty! So what are you waiting for?

Our Mission
Our goal is to create the highest quality and most customizable guitars on the market while keeping our guitars as affordable as possible as well! If you can imagine it, we’ll build it.
How it works.
Above is the “Start Designing” button which will open a link to our custom guitar master order form. We also have a condensed version of the form. The master form is the longer of the two forms as it allows for a higher degree of customization in your instrument. For ultimate control over your custom guitar build, choose the master form. If you want to skip some specific customization options and get right to designing your one-of-a-kind instrument, the condensed form is for you!
After the design form is submitted, we will review your submission and contact you as soon as possible.
Lets make it happen!
Let’s work together and create your dream guitar!
