Sound. Feel. Vibe.
TreeTone guitars are crafted in Berlin, Connecticut—built one at a time with a focus on tone, feel, and lasting quality. I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years, but from the start, I was just as interested in modifying and fine-tuning them as I was in actually playing. That drive to understand what makes a great guitar great is what eventually led me to start building my own.
Each TreeTone design is a nod to the golden era of electric guitars—the timeless styles of the ’50s and ’60s—reimagined with subtle modern refinements for today’s player. Whether it’s improved ergonomics, weight, electronics or hardware that just works better, every detail is chosen with intention.
Built using carefully selected tonewoods, quality components, and a lot of time at the bench, these guitars are made to be played. Whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or chasing tone in your living room—TreeTone is all about the sound, feel, and vibe.

How it Works
Aside from a few Available Now releases throughout the year, every guitar is made to order—custom built to match your unique playing style and preferences. You choose the model, tonewoods, electronics, hardware, vintage-inspired lacquer finish, and more.
​
Build times typically range from 8 to 10 months, depending on our current backlog and order volume.
Kick off your custom build with an $800 deposit. You'll pay the remaining balance only when your instrument is finished and ready to ship.
