I build guitars...

My mission is to offer great guitars that are affordable for everyone, from casual players to performing musicians.

Unlike the larger builders that are restricted by manufacturing processes, most small shops work on a “build to order” basis. This offers the advantage of building a guitar to the specifications (within reason) of the customer. Things like, wood selection, binding options, custom inlays, neck contour and scale length as well as pickups and other hardware can be tailored to the buyer without disrupting a predefined assembly routine.

NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

Price increase!

Due to the cost of materials, shipping, gas etc. I reluctantly have to increase my prices. Even with the increase I still offer some of the most affordable custom built instruments available to fit most budgets.

Modern Dreadnought

I have recently begun building my own version of the classic dreadnought guitar. Same big sound and tonal characteristics but with some refinements to body shape. The photos to the left represent two examples of the new body shape.

Custom Fit Calton Cases

I have recently partnered with Calton cases one of the premier instrument case builders in the US to offer fitted cases with the Thomas Guitars branding on the name plate. Now any Thomas guitar can be offered with a custom fit case to protect your investment for years to come.

IN THE SHOP

A look at what I have been working on and how I do it. Nothing really sexy in here just a lot of saw dust and shavings but very interesting non the less!

TOM NEAL Builder

Playing music and working with wood are two things I am very passionate about. So, combining the two by building guitars makes perfect sense to me!
