With a wild range of tonewoods, trim levels, bindings, purflings, inlays, and nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, the possibilities are endless. Wanna nail your perfect axe? Tell me how you play, what tone you’re chasing, and which materials and finishes speak to you. I’ll send some renderings of your dream guitar, and once you give the nod, you’re locked into the queue like a VIP.

Drill down below, and you’ll see the kind of options and customizations we can do. When you’re ready to pull the trigger, hit me up to talk about the guitar... your guitar. I’m game for discussing different body sizes, shapes, and styles—bring it on. But heads-up: if I think a project’s gonna crash and burn under the Escher Guitar Company name, I’ll have to pull the plug. We’re building legends here, not regrets.

with the exception of available guitars on the shop page.

All models will be made-to-order

Wayland Standard

If you're on the hunt for a guitar that marries timeless design with exceptional craftsmanship, look no further than the Escher Wayland guitar.

This classic dreadnought model, crafted in the heart of West Michigan, showcases traditional building methods that have stood the test of time. Every note you play on this guitar resonates with the rich heritage of luthiery.

Otsego Standard

Introducing the new Otsego Standard guitar... a masterfully crafted instrument from West Michigan, honoring the rich legacy of those historic Kalamazoo guitars.

Enjoy exquisite details like a bound Brazilian Rosewood fretboard, real pearl “twisted crown” inlays, a beautifully contoured Michigan maple top, and a resonant Honduran Mahogany neck and body. Customize your sound with your choice of pickups; we highly recommend our hand-wound options for an unparalleled sonic experience.

I can’t stop picking it up. I think it’s magical.
