LAB Guitars and Basses

Hand crafted, custom guitars and basses built in Kalamazoo, MI.

Each model is designed by me, with the natural beauty of the wood as the main focus. The instruments are smooth, curvy, and comfortable to play, with amazing sound.

Take a look at my instruments and be sure to stop by the Builder’s Corner blog to see what I’m working on, along with insights into how I build my guitars and basses.

What People Are Saying

I can’t say enough good things about the guitar she made for me. It is such an integral part of harnessing the sound of the band and such a creative tool, it really feels like an extension of me. Without fail, we have multiple people at every show ask about the instruments, they really are unique and incredibly solid instruments.

i own… a lot of guitars. (and basses)
probably more than is necessary.
but that being said? my LAB Instruments guitar and bass are hands down the nicest instruments i own. not just aesthetically, but in how they feel to play. my other instruments don’t even come close.
