At Bear Walker, we don't mass produce anything.
-
We start with a consultation to discuss your vision, then select materials, build the body and neck, assemble all components, and finish with a full setup and playability inspection.
-
For the Red Eyes Black Dragon Guitar, we use bookmatched American Black Walnut for both the exclusive engraved top and back. The center layer is all natural nine ply American Maple from upcycled skateblanks.
-
Our custom thirteen-piece necks are premium Flame Maple with a core of nine ply American Maple alternately dyed black and natural, sandwiched between two layers of Morado. The headstock is capped with a custom-engraved layer of American Black Walnut to match the body. The fingerboard is a gorgeous African Ebony.
-
Each instrument is entirely handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, incorporating sustainable tonewoods and premium hardware for exceptional playability and tone.
-
A typical custom build takes between 8–16 weeks, depending on complexity, wood availability, and current workload. Rush builds may be available upon request.
-
We work with industry-leading hardware brands, including Gotoh, Schaller, Hipshot, and Fishman for pickups, ensuring reliability and tone excellence.
-
Salvaged skateboard decks are laminated and used as top veneers or accent inlays, giving each guitar a visually striking and one-of-a-kind aesthetic.
