You're interested in guitars and guitar gadgets? He's your man. Alec started BIRRD CUSTOM GUITARS in 2017. He's also the owner of
Way over 35yrs in business, and more than 29yrs owner of a graphic arts and custom painting studio means: tons of experiance pic: Alec playing a 'Fender Stratocaster OLW Lefty Conversion' he did. That was a genuine Fender lefty guitar and with a little love it's now a righty one. If you like to have one too, drop him a line- Your advantage: Once a conversion is done, and you manage to play flawlessly, your mom might call you Jimi. How cool would THAT be!? |

40 Years Rock'n' Roll
Birrd Custom Guitars means Rock'n' Roll. And here's why.
Alec is a musician to the core, and it all started 42 years ago with his first band, the Black Birds. Having started as a bass player, he soon moved over to the electric guitar, woot! Advanced Status Quo poses, a windmill arm that would make Pete Townshend blush, and a stiff upper lip competing with Angus Young - you name it. In other words, Alec knows that playing guitar also depends on attitude and style.

Design, Function, Attitude and StyleThere are so many great guitar builders around the world. Big names, boutique manufacturers, you googled them all, you watched all of their videos, you read all the reviews. And you already checked your bank account. Now you are ready to buy a Birrd Skulpture, a custom guitar!
Bottom line: We build guitars that make you drool (and maybe even pee your pants) because they not only look great but also deliver the sounds, accuracy, and functionality you have a right to expect. |

We Build Funky Sculptures. Guitars.We build guitars, funky ones. You can play em like normal guitars. You can also place them on furniture. Then they 'transform' to a sculpture, to a piece of art.
If you expect Fender Telecaster / Stratocaster, Gibson... etc. copies, you can think again. We build, and want to built, one of a kind theme guitars, which are fully functional with a show stopper look. If you like em and you want us to build one for you, or for your company (for adverstise), we can do it.

As written above, we have also an inhouse bar with a stage, the 'Lo Snag Bar'! When there is a stage, there is also a backstage room. That room was empty during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Then there was the idea of a small guitar shop. And now we have one. Awesome isn't it? After Alec has mounted some of his very own collection, we were able to make a deal with Relish guitars. You will find a few in the show room you can play, and of course buying one. You want to have a custom made Relish? No problem. We built the Relish Mary One inhouse and can decide about color etc. Get in touch and let us produce your dream guitar. Amps - Effekt Pedals - Stomps - GadgetsIf you want to try a guitar, or an effect pedal which we sell, everything is ready to play. We have also guitar cables, sometimes amps and other guitar related gadgets to sell.

Turning back time.
Angus Young puts his autograph onto one of Alec's paintings, which he did for a customer. This guy was lucky enough to meet Angus backstage! Crazy shit isn't it!? Side note: we don't tell how it was to bring such a huge canvas through all theses people at/after a live concert in Zurich. It was a challenge! |
