Available 9am-6pm M-F. If we don’t answer, that’s because we’re working hard on a custom guitar or helping another customer. Please leave us a message and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

*Born Guitar builds that are not customer directed cannot be custom fitted, but we do offer a Born Retrofit, which allows you to mod your Born Guitar so that it’s best suited for your playing style. The Born Retrofit gives you the ability to change out pickups, adjust and/or replace the bridge, mod the electronics, and have your guitar setup to your preferred string action and gauge. All modifications are done at the Born Custom Shop. Some restrictions apply. Please inquire if you are interested in a Born Retrofit and would like more information, including pricing and details. Contact Us at: info@bornguitars.com
**Born FlowTM Neck Joint & Vice LockTM Sustain System is a Born Custom Guitars, LLC proprietary design, process and finished design that fully integrates the guitar neck into the body of the guitar so that the two parts become one, both structurally and functionally (feel and playability). Our process of hand fitting the neck allows for a seamless, press-fit joint that is then locked into place with 4 anchored machine bolts. This allows for seamless resonance and a contoured feel all the way up the neck to the last fret.
***The Born Signature Fret Dressing and Bound Fretboard are the result of Born Guitar’s intensive and detailed fretboard design and fret dressing process. This process is highly labor intensive and requires a keen attention to detail, but the end result is a fretboard that plays lightning fast and feels soft and fit perfectly to your hands.

Please contact us and let us know what you are interested in.  Every single custom electric guitar we design and build is carefully crafted from scratch in Colorado, USA. From your hand shaped neck and hand selected woods to your custom finish, your guitar is truly one-of-a-kind.  Price really depends on the design, details and woods that you choose for your Born Guitar® custom build. 

Pricing is subject to change at anytime.  Any firm quotes we provide are good for 30 days, and are locked in once we receive your initial deposit.  Changes to your order will be credited or added to your final invoice. Your deposit is good towards any Born Guitar, amp stand or accessory. We offer free 30 minute consultations to help you evaluate us and kick start your dream guitar today.
