Your Instrument
Every Resonance guitar is built once — for you.
Explore the CollectionOur Story
Every Resonance guitar begins as a single piece of sustainably sourced tonewoods — selected by hand, dried for years, and shaped by luthiers who have devoted their lives to the art of sound.
We believe that an instrument is more than wood and wire. It is the bridge between silence and music, between imagination and expression. Since 1987, we have built guitars for artists who refuse to compromise.
How It's Made
Our luthiers travel to certified forests and mills, selecting each plank by tap tone, grain density, and moisture content. Only the top 3% of tonewood stock makes the cut.
Templates passed down through generations guide the first cuts. Each body contour is refined by hand planes and spokeshaves before any power tool approaches the wood.
The neck is the soul of playability. Carved from a single piece of hard maple or mahogany, each profile is shaped to the hand — then voiced by testing string tension and resonance transfer.
Body, neck, and hardware are joined with hide glue and held for 48 hours. Binding channels are cut by hand. No CNC. Every mitre joint is fitted until invisible.
After finish curing, every guitar receives a complete setup: fret levelling, nut slotting, intonation, and action optimisation. Each instrument is played for a minimum of eight hours before shipping.

Why Resonance
Each instrument passes through the hands of a single luthier from start to finish. No assembly lines. No shortcuts. Every curve, every joint, every fret — placed with intention and decades of knowledge.
Tonewood selection is an art. Our master luthiers tap, flex, and listen to every plank before a single cut is made — ensuring the instrument resonates at its natural frequency for pure, balanced projection.
We stand behind every instrument we build — forever. Our lifetime warranty covers all structural defects. Because a Resonance guitar is not just a purchase; it is a relationship that spans generations.
The Materials
Every species of wood speaks a different tonal language. We work with six primary tonewoods — each chosen for its acoustic character, its beauty, and the story it carries from forest to fingerboard.
Pacific Northwest, North America
Bright · Clear · Dynamic Range
The benchmark tonewood for acoustic tops. Excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio produces articulate highs and powerful projection across all playing styles.
Central America & Africa
Warm · Focused · Rich Mids
The voice of the blues and folk tradition. Mahogany reinforces the fundamental notes with a warm, punchy midrange that records beautifully.
Southern India
Complex · Lush · Extended Sustain
Dense and oily, rosewood fretboards add complexity to the upper harmonics and a silky playing feel that develops further with age.
North America & Canada
Bright · Tight · High Definition
Extremely stable and hard-wearing, maple necks transmit string energy efficiently with a snappy attack that cuts through any mix.
West & Central Africa
Articulate · Fast · Glassy
The finest fretboard material available. Exceptional hardness creates a fast, smooth surface. The glassy tone adds brilliant note definition and projection.
Pacific Northwest, North America
Balanced · Full · Even Response
The classic electric guitar body wood. Alder's even frequency response and light weight make it the ideal canvas for any pickup configuration.
Signature Piece
Our most uncompromising guitar. Every specification chosen for maximum acoustic performance and playing comfort. Built entirely by a single luthier over twelve weeks, the Artisan Series is a declaration — that there is always a higher standard.

Artist Voices
The Obsidian has completely transformed my live sound. There is a warmth and sustain I have never found in any other instrument — at any price point.
I have owned guitars three times the price that do not come close. The craftsmanship, the feel, the way it responds to the lightest touch — it is extraordinary.
When I picked up the Ember Acoustic for the first time, I played for four hours without stopping. That has never happened before. It simply speaks to you.
