Our Ethos
The earth has its own natural vibration and energy that's captured in all life. Music is much the same. If you've been to a show and had the hair on your arms stand up, you've experienced it.
We work hard to make sure the energy of StoryWood guitars reflect this connection and relationship. StoryWood Music is more than your average custom guitar builder. As we plane each board, we rediscover and restore the natural beauty and tone of the wood and pair it with other stories to design the guitar that tells your story and brings that energy back to you.
“They say that every guitar has a song in it. From the first time you pick it up, if it makes you play things you’ve never played, you know it belongs to you.”

“Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another. ”
