Relic Aged Custom Guitars and Parts

Welcome to Ammon Guitars! Ammon Guitars was set up to provide the discerning guitar player with a 1950's/1960's guitar playing experience without having to pay vintage or custom shop prices.

So 'relicing' then....that's just attacking a guitar with a screwdriver.

No! All of our guitars and parts are aged or reliced with care and skill to simulate years of natural playing wear. We believe that our guitars would stand up to close scrutiny to the big USA custom shops. While we can't give you a real 1950's maple necked beauty...we can get you as close as possible!

Ok..So what makes your guitars better from all the other 'relicers' aged guitars out there?

Apart from the reasons above our guitars have the following features:

* We use quality tone woods - Swamp Ash and Alder.

* Our bodies and necks are accurately based on the originals dimensions and shapes .

* We use quality top of the range hardware and pickups based on period specs.

* All our guitars, bodies and necks are finished with 100% Nitro-Cellulose Lacquer in period correct colours.

* Our guitars are set up and tested to the highest standard before shipping.

* We are happy for guitarists to play and demo our guitars before they purchase their own instrument. All our guitars come with a 1 year warranty on parts and electrics and come with a signed certificate of authenticity. Quality Tweed cases are available for £70 extra.  Learn more: ABOUT US

All our guitars come in 2 Spec levels:
