Boutique Laboratory Guitars

Each BLG build starts with a question: how should this one sound?
That question shapes every step — from wood selection to port placement.
These guitars aren’t copies. They’re conversations.

BLG guitars are built in a single-room workshop in Santa Cruz, CA.
Every piece is hand-shaped, tested by feel and sound, and built for use.
From rough stock to final polish, the process is guided by time, tools, and experience.
No two instruments are the same — but each one comes from the same place.
