We Build Theme Guitars. Playable Sculptures. Funky Show Stopper

The planet hosts an extremely amount of incredible creative guitar producers. 
Creating guitars, for us, is like sculpting art. We only create a few one-of-a-kind ones per year. 
"Sometimes, at a certain point, a product becomes a piece of art. This arise from the interaction between customer and manufacturer!"

Since over 40 years we love to paint guitars, repair 'em, making mods, sometimes play them, and since a few years creating them. 
Alec not only owns the Birrd Guitars company, also the graphic arts studio Airxess GmbH he runs since almost 30 years. That means tons of experience come together.

The Golden Fifties And Sixties

At the moment the topic is to transform the fin, the rear of a vintage US-Car, to a guitar. We get inspired when we see a Cadillac, a Chevrolet, a Plymouth, or another vintage car, rolling through the streets.
The Birrd US-Car Fin Series you can't compare with other guitars. They are sculptures, inspired from cars, reflecting the golden age of the 50's and 60's. The intention wasn't to recreate every detail of the cars, but the connoisseur will perceive them. It's pure fun to create such an unique piece. Tonewood and other things, wich are important for some, are of secondary importance in this project. If you intend to buy such a guitar, you can choose what kind of style, color, pickups, which tuners and what kind of strings you want. Well, custom made!

Beside our custom ones, we like to play, work and sell other brands too. You will find them in the Show-Room.

Birrd Belair Travel Guitar

Birrd Belair Travel Guitar / Chevrolet Belair 1957

​The very first "Birrd" Custom Guitar.
To be more precise, it's the "Birrd Belair" Travel Guitar.

We could bore you to death with technical details, but why should we? Just look at the picture. Closely. Even closer.
​Right? You love it. It's like love at first sight, but unlike in real life, you can buy love.

Birrd Biarritz Travel Guitar

Birrd Biarritz Travel Guitar
​The Birrd Biarritz is the third of our travel guitars and it's another homage to a US car tail fin like the Belair.

The legendary Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz was the inspiration to this model. More details have been augmented with this travel guitar to enhance the effect. During production, we changed the original color concept from white to red.

The great thing is, these models are so unique and unusual, but easy to play guitars. So they are not just for showing off. Well, you can still show off. For example, go on stage naked.
Place this guitar where ever you want, everything around it looks a lot cooler
A Cadillac-Fin-Inspired-Guitar, can it be any cooler?  Ok yes, when driving such a car on the streets WITH the Birrd Biarritz in your hands. But this happens to one of a trigazillion person.

Birrd  Belvedere White Edition

Birrd Belvedere WE Travel Guitar
The similar looking, black Belvedere MO (Murdered Out) was produced in the shortest possible time, where as work on this Belvedere WE (white edition) was carried out down to the last detail.
Even the neck was painted very elaborately. A large Belvedere lettering is only visible from a certain angle. A special color was used for this.
A very cool effect.

Just enjoy the pics!
If you have questions about buying such a gorgeous thing, let us know. This one is sold, but for sure we can do one you will like too.

Birrd Century Travel Guitar

Birrd Century Travel Guitar

Since this Buick Century diecast model has more served for the colors and not for the shape of the fin, the guitar will come in fancy gold, matt black, and flames created with a glossy finish. And if we would call this guitar Century, it would be a eponym.

Needless to say that you can already order this model. Not the car. Only the guitar. The car is not for sale. We're deeply sorry.
We decided to name it Century. It's a bad ass century craftmanship.
The building of it took much longer than the other Birrds because of the way of production. Only a rough scetch, not a detailed drawing as on the other builds was made and during production new ideas took place.

Birrd Belvedere MO

Birrd Belvedere MO Travel Guitar
Alec took some wood, a saw, and a couple of screwdrivers, disappeared for a while – and then came back with a travel guitar honoring the unique look of a Plymouth Belvedere. The mysterious, all blacked out, Birrd Belvedere MO (Murdered Out) was born and ready for vacation. It's as black as possible, dirty and that my friend is a statement.
Since the Birrd Belair Travel Guitar became so cool, Alec decided to make even more show models for upcoming events. We love events, it's holidays.

Talking about holidays: a couple of days before Alec went on vacation in 2019, he had pretty much everything packed a guy needs for a couple of days off. Speedos, sunglasses, and self-bronzer. But there was one thing missing.
