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.
-
We primarily use tonewoods such as mahogany, alder, ash, and maple depending on the tone profile desired. Exotic tops like figured maple or walnut are also available.
-
Necks are typically crafted from maple or mahogany with rosewood, ebony, or maple fretboards. We can accommodate custom wood requests as well.
-
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 Seymour Duncan or 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.
-
Every guitar comes with a lifetime structural warranty, a custom case, and a certificate of authenticity. We also offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on all builds.
