After having made only acoustic guitars I decided I wanted to branch out and make electrics too, this was the first to be added to the Wide Sky family. Inspired by my love of Gibsons the P125 is sort of a cross between the old ES125 3/4 and a Les Paul. I finished the first…

Guitars
Reckoner
Named after one of my favorite Radiohead songs the Reckoner is a bit different than the other guitars I have built. Looking around the site you might notice that I lean toward the Gibson aesthetic, however, as I was drawing guitar shapes and kept coming back to this one. While refining the design I realized…
Junior
I’ve always thought the old late 50s Les Paul Juniors were super cool, so I made my own version. You have a choice of pickups, P-90s or humbuckers, or both. I feel very fortunate to be working with Cutis Novak and he’s come up with something really special for these guitars. With the P-90s you…
PL1
This is a replica build of the almost 100 year old Gibson L1. I’ve been obsessed with this guitar for quite some time, it’s sound and look are such a throw back to the early blues era. In the only known photo of the Godfather of the Blues, Robert Johnson is holding an L1. The Gibson L1 is an iconic…
P125 Cutaway
After having made only acoustic guitars I decided I wanted to branch out and make electrics too, this was the first to be added to the Wide Sky family. Inspired by my love of Gibsons the P125 is sort of a cross between the old ES125 3/4 and a Les Paul. I finished the first…
000
With it’s deep body and the bridge pushed back further into the lower bout by being a 13 fret, this 000 size produces a strong, responsive and full spectrum sound. This guitar covers a wide range of playing styles really well. It’s smaller size and gentle round over on the bass side of the lower bout…
00
This guitar is loosely based off of Gibson’s L-00. I’ve changed some of the curves and altered some of the dimensions. Being between the Parlor and 000, this guitar is a really fun big sounding instrument for it’s size. More and more I’m wanting to play the smaller bodied guitars, there is just so much…
Dreadnought
My take on the classic Dreadnought shape. I love the big sound of the Dreads but have never really liked their shape, so I designed this one similar in size but with a much narrower waist. The deeper curves and the arm bevel along the lower bout make this a very comfortable guitar to play…
P185
I love Gibson guitars and this is a nod to their J-185 which first appeared in 1951. The J-185 was originally introduced as a smaller version of the J-200, the “King of the Flat-Tops”. With Maple back and sides, and a lower bout width of 16″, this guitar has a lot of power but still…
PL1 12 String
I was recently commissioned to build a 12 string version of my PL1 model and it is just such a cool, great sounding guitar that I had add it to the WSG lineup. Hear my friend Chipper Thompson give the git a whirl here. No Longer In Production Scroll down for tech specs. Click on…
