Leif Scott Guitars

Leif Scott Guitars is an emerging boutique guitar company founded in 2025 and based in Asheville, North Carolina, focused on hand-built custom instruments crafted in a true one-person workshop. The company’s roots trace back to early hobbyist builds that quickly demonstrated promise, leading to several years of professional training at a respected boutique guitar shop in Los Angeles, California. That formative experience shaped a disciplined approach to guitar construction, emphasizing precision woodworking, refined finishing techniques, and a deep understanding of how materials, structure, and setup influence tone and playability.

Today, Leif Scott Guitars blends West Coast boutique craftsmanship with the rich musical culture of the Appalachian region, producing custom guitars built entirely by a single builder from start to finish. This hands-on approach allows for complete control over tonewood selection, voicing, ergonomics, and visual detail, resulting in instruments that feel highly responsive and intentionally designed. Rather than mass production, the focus remains on quality, individuality, and close collaboration with musicians. With growing exposure at major industry events and increasing recognition within the guitar community, L Scott Guitars is establishing itself as a serious new voice in the custom guitar landscape, offering instruments defined by thoughtful design, meticulous craftsmanship, and player-driven performance.
