What our customers say

Our story

The funky, offbeat designs of 1960s Japanese guitars-Teisco's wild shapes, Guyatone's quirky switches, Kawai's bold colors-drew me in. I didn't just play them; I fixed them, rewired their janky pickups in basement jam spaces, and dreamed of crafting my own.


That passion-like how sixties Japanese luthiers, fired up by Fender's success, unleashed wild, boundary-pushing models-fuels Lewis Guitars. Our three originals are straight outta that funky vein, born to groove with raw surf soul.

If you're chasing a guitar with the heart of a ‘60s Japanese surf riff, crafted by someone who lives for fuzz and tremolo, you're home.
