We Build Theme Guitars. Playable Sculptures. Funky Show Stopper
No doubt, since the guitar invention, the production of such will never stop.
The planet hosts an extremely amout of incrdible creative people, who just can't stop creating new models. We are not talking about the ones who are copying some guitar icons which forget, the mojo and the spirit can't be bought.
Creating guitars, for us, it's craftsmanship. We only create one-of-a-kind ones. This makes them even more valuable. Because it's a side project, we take the time it needs. We want to produce guitars you haven't seen yet. Not too fancy, and of course playable.
"Sometimes, at a certain time, a product becomes a piece of art. This arise from the interaction between customer and manufacturer!"
Our goal is to leave customers speechless.
You are looking for an unique, one of a kind guitar? WELCOME!
Since over 40 years we love to paint, repair, making mods, sometimes play them, and since a few years creating them.
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, or a Plymouth vintage car rolling through the streets. Sometimes we can't wait getting creative with a piece of wood.
Beside our custom ones, we like to play, work and sell other brands too. You will find them in the very new Show-Room.
Let's talk about the Birrd Custom guitars.
The Birrd US-Car Fin Travel 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 should be 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 pickups, which tuners and what kind of strings you want. That's all.
Unless you want to be a part of it from the beginning, and a guitar should be created according to your ideas. Then almost anything is possible.

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 Biarritz Travel GuitarThe Birrd Biarritz is the third of our travel guitars, and it's an homage to a US car tail fin like the Belair.
The legendary Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz inspired 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. It's the same with T-Shirts – white makes you look fat whereas red is sexy. 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

The black Belvedere MO (Murdered Out) was produced for the holidays 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 even visible from a certain angle. A special color was used for this, which only reflects the light from one perspective! A very cool effect. 
On the fretboard is written "Belvedere"

Birrd Century Travel GuitarA Birrd Century Travel Guitar in the making. Well, maybe we won't call it Century. It's like with kids. You're expecting a baby and come up with possible names until the baby is born. And then you realize that Karen doesn't work because it's a boy.
Since this Buick Century serves as a color template, 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. But again, we're not sure yet. More info to come. Check out BIRRD CUSTOM GUITAR's Instagram account. 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. Only a few more detail work and we can unveil this crazy 60s car fin inspired axe. |

Birrd Belvedere MOSince the Birrd Belair Travel Guitar became so cool, Alec decided to make a show model for upcoming events. Because we love events like exhibitions, music fairs, b'day parties, Sundays in bed, or making strong espresso. OK, we're detouring again. Nevermind. Oh, and 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. 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. The Belvedere MO was made in a hurry, no time for detail works. For holidays, that was cool, but then we pimped it and voilà it became the white Belvedere (scroll up) |
