McSwain Guitars

Born in an L.A. garage more than 20 years ago, McSwain Guitars builds boutique custom electric guitars by hand—one instrument at a time. What started as one-off designs for the stage quickly gained momentum when our first guitar went to Steve Vai. Inspired by classic silhouettes from Gibson, Fender, and PRS, our small-batch luthier craft blends timeless lines with modern playability, delivering resonant tone, fast necks, and road-ready reliability for artists, collectors, and working musicians.

Choose from our refined lineup or spec a bespoke build through the McSwain custom shop—woods, pickups, finishes, and hardware tailored to your sound. If you’re searching for high-end, handmade electric guitars with character and precision, explore our latest models, start a custom consultation, and follow along for new releases. Join the McSwain community and let us build your next favorite guitar. Best.
