Affordable Custom Electric Guitars for Under $1,000.

Fireplant Guitars were born out of the idea that great custom electric guitars shouldn't cost a fortune, and they shouldn't all look alike, either. It's easy to find a custom guitar company that will sell you a re-hash of an old body style. Not to say they're bad instruments, of course, but, in all honesty, they're just really boring. Who wants to spend $2,000 or more on a custom electric guitar that looks identical to a standard-issue electric guitar that anyone can buy for $200 bucks? Why can't they make something that sounds sounds great, plays great and has a unique look to it? At Fireplant Guitars, we set out to do just that.

Our goal is to give real, gigging musicians a kickass, durable custom guitar that sounds great, looks great, isn't like everything else you see, and is affordable enough so that you don't feel like a jerk if you dare swap out the pickups to to get your own, signature sound that you're used to.

Custom Electric GuitarS with Great Playability and Versatility

Our custom electric guitars sound great right out of the box, but we also know that, no matter what kind of guitar you buy, you may have your own signature sound. You may be a Dimebucker kind of guy; you may be an EMG-81/85 kind of guy; you may be a Homewrecker Pickups kind of guy.

Whatever your signature sound is, you should feel free to modify your guitar however you see fit - and let's face it: if you buy a guitar for $3,000, you're not gonna dare tear it apart and hot-rod it out with different pickups.

Our custom guitars are totally unique in design, but we're also able to keep them affordable. All of our custom guitars are under $1,000 for the sole purpose that we know a lot of you out there have your own sound. When you get a Fireplant, chances are good you'll like the sound you get out of it stock, but that doesn't mean it's your sound.

We actually enjoy seeing our guitarists hot-rod out their custom Fireplant Guitars and actually customize them the way they want them. It's kind of like having a hot-rodded out Civic versus a Ferrari. You'll drive the shit out of your Civic hot rod every day, and you won't freak out if it rains, if it gets a door ding, or if you wanna swap parts in and out of it. You modded it out to have fun, and you started out with an affordable rig to begin with.

A Ferrari, on the other hand... you won't drive it to the store, you won't park it within 100 feet of any other cars, you won't take it out in the rain, and you wouldn't dare modify anything on it.

If you're the hot-rod Civic kind of guitarist, then a custom Fireplant Guitar is definitely what you need. If you're a Ferrari kinda guy... hell, you still may wanna switch to a Fireplant Guitar and learn how to enjoy yourself!
