Custom Electric Guitars

You've been looking for an affordable, custom guitar, right? Well here we are.

Fireplant FP-1

Fireplant WMD-V

Fireplant Splitsville

Fireplant Guitars set out to make the best custom electric guitars under $1000, and it all started from a sketched out drawing on a piece of scratch paper. We wanted to give real gigging guitarists the best custom electric guitars without compromising the look, sound quality, playability, durability, tone and especially their wallets. On top of that, we wanted to make custom guitars for individual playing styles: 6- and 7-string guitars, custom electric basses, custom colors and stains, custom hardware and bridge setups - everything we could do to make the best guitars and basses for our customers, and we had to do it all while still making them affordable for the real, honest-to-God, gigging musicians out there.When we started showing off our Fireplant Guitars to rock, heavy metal, blues guitarists, and shred phenoms everywhere, we knew we were on the right path to making guitarists of all kinds happy. All we had to hear was, "Duuuuude... that guitar is sick! Where can I get one?"

Now we're making custom electric guitars in three different models: the FP-1, the WMD-V and the Splitsville. And we have even more designs on the way in the near future. Plus, we're even offering a special endorsement deal for real, gigging musicians. We want to give up-and-coming guitarists and bass players a chance to get a great custom guitar or bass at an unbelievable price that even a musician can afford.

Custom Electric Guitars, from Concept to Reality

At first, all we had was a client who needed a series of customized electric guitars made with their corporate logo on the headstock. Then one day, while I was on the phone, I started doodling an electric guitar design, but not a shape I had seen before. By the time I was done with the dreadfully-dull conference call, I looked down and realized I sketched out a pretty bad-ass looking electric guitar design.

I shuffled the sketch aside and continued working, but I had the sense to keep it filed away. A few days later, I was talking to the production manager about our client's custom guitars with the logo on the headstock, and I asked him, "Say... I have this sketch of a guitar design. Do you think if I send it to you, you can make me some prototypes of it? You know... while you're building our guitars, anyway."

Anthony Gamez of Sound of War playing his custom WMD-V that he designed himself. Mahogany Body, Quilted Maple top, See-Thru Green Finish. "This is the greatest Death Metal guitar ever. The greatest Metal guitar ever. The greatest guitar ever!"

"Sure - send it over and I'll see what we can do." They made four Fireplant Guitars prototypes along with my client's logo guitars, and they came back great... Looked great, sounded great, played great...

So here we are, in the guitar business, getting real, custom electric guitars and basses in the hands of up-and-coming musicians all over the country, and soon to the entire world.

​And it all started with just a sketch - a doodle on a piece of paper. I don't remember what that conference call was about, but it was definitely the most productive conference call I've ever had.
