P125

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…

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 Wide Sky Guitars

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 Guitar

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…

000 12 String

Everything that I love about the 000 6 string and then some. This is a great size for a 12 string, a good balance of great bass response without having too big of a body, and articulate mids and highs. Also with a gentle round over on the bass side of the lower bout making…

Parlor 12 string, Adirondack Spruce, Indian Rosewood back and sides. Ammonite inlay

Parlor 12 String

There is something about small Parlor sized guitars. They are just fun to hold and play. What they may lack in the lush low end they make up for in character and clarity in the mid and high range. This 12 string is also a cannon, a little thing with a great big sound. There…
