STS Guitars

STS Guitars stands as a modern testament to craftsmanship, sustainability, and thoughtful engineering in electric guitar design. Rooted in a background that blends mechanical engineering with decades of playing experience, the approach behind these instruments is centered on lasting quality, ergonomic precision, and refined aesthetics. Each guitar is handcrafted in a workshop housed in a repurposed paper factory, merging history with innovation. Drawing influence from Japanese design principles, the instruments emphasize minimalism, balance, and perfection in detail—offering musicians a reliable, resonant tool that reflects both modern sensibilities and time-honored techniques.

What sets STS Guitars apart is a deeply embedded philosophy of sustainability and regionality. By exclusively using local woods, stainless steel fret wire, threaded inserts, and high-longevity components, each build is optimized for durability and environmental responsibility. The guitars are finished with high-quality oil and wax treatments rather than industrial lacquers, allowing the wood to breathe and resonate naturally while remaining easy to maintain or refurbish. All electronic and mechanical components are sourced from regional manufacturers wherever possible, ensuring ethical production practices and reducing environmental impact. This commitment to eco-conscious design makes STS Guitars not only instruments of exceptional tonal quality but also responsible choices for the modern guitarist.
