About Us

I grew up in the 1990s with a cassette in my Walkman, sawdust in the garage, and the feeling that guitars were more than just instruments, they were a lifeline.

Even as a kid, I didn’t just want to play guitars. I wanted to understand them, fix them, shape them. I was the one helping friends restring their busted Strat copies or soldering noisy jacks on the floor of a basement jam space. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was already doing what I’d love for the rest of my life: serving musicians.


That mission, to serve musicians, still drives everything I do. Lewis Guitars was born from that spirit: the idea that a guitar should feel like home, sound like truth, and stand up to life on the road. Every instrument is built from raw lumber in-house, with an obsessive attention to detail rooted in that same passion I had sketching guitar shapes in the margins of my school notebooks.

Today, I offer three original models shaped by years of hands-on luthier work and a lifelong love of the electric guitar’s golden era. As a kid, I was a huge Leo Fender fan, I admired how he created tools for working musicians, not museum pieces. That same spirit influences my work today: honest, road-ready guitars built for players who care more about feel and tone than flashy specs.

If you're looking for a guitar that feels personal, plays effortlessly, and is made by someone who lives for this craft — you're in the right place. \
