This Dog Hair Broadwing is just beyond words. Topped off with the palm bender, this is a honkytonk machine. She sold before we could get her listed!

PSA: Sour Bridges is the S**t Y’all! And did you know moonlights as a male model on weeknights?!

The text on the back of his guitar is in fact not a sticker, it’s actually nitrocellulose sprayed under the clear coats, so you can’t even feel the letters!

Y’all make sure and check our whenever you get a chance!!

A vintage classic with modern precision. This Broadwing is as good as it gets. From the hand wired vintage spec pickups to the lacquered Bakelite pickguard and slot-head screws, this one is just oozing vintage vibes. She’s off to her forever home today.

The Standard Series Suncaster is officially available for preorder!

The development of this guitar has been about creating a unique and affordable do-it-all workhorse that competes and surpasses the quality, tone, and playability of larger corporations of equal price point, as much as it is a “signature” model.

I truly believe in the instruments Walker is handcrafting at his shop in Central Texas and wanted to get in at the ground-level, and I can personally attest to the fact that they are absolutely road-worthy.

This guitar is sort of a conglomeration of all the guitars I’ve toured with over the years—classic tele styling, a 5-way switch for some 2nd and 4th position single coil stratty goodness, hand-wound humbucker/p90 pickup combo which has quickly become my favorite rock and roll/country configuration, rosewood fretboard on a comfy C-shaped maple neck, and a thinline body with nitrocellulose clear coat hand-sprayed in house for that wonderful airy semi-hollow goodness.

The Doubleday Standard Series Suncaster retails for $1999 and is available in cherry sunburst, natural, trans black, and antique white. I’ll sign and number the first 10 off the line, allow around 12-16 weeks for build time (it’s worth the wait I promise!). Can’t wait for y’all to get your hands on one of these, it is truly an awesome instrument!!

Did you know….
We hand make 1/4” ebony dots for our fret markers on maple necks, rather than using black plastic like those… other… companies 💪🏻 it’s all about the details over here!

How a Doubleday Custom Guitar begins its journey. Completely raw stock, no prefab parts or kits! This board is Ponderosa Pine which will be used to build a guitar for a good friend who is the dog dad of a black lab named Pondo! How cool is that!
