Apollo Guitars

So, what is Garage Built? Well, it simply means built by hand in my garage. No computerized milling machines, no high-tech paint booths, no digital calipers or other fancy equipment. My guitars are inexpensive working guitars. They are not flawless showpieces that cost thousands and thousands of dollars and the average person would be afraid to touch, let alone play. They are a little rough around the edges. they are meant to be played. and played hard.

I specialize in building new guitars from new & vintage parts as well as turning old beat up guitars into new usable instruments. I like to show off the grain of interesting and unusual woods. I also don’t worry about some of the inherent flaws in wood such as small knots, sap lines and worm holes. These things add character to a guitar and the result is a unique and affordable instrument. Although I will always try to incorporate a customer’s preferences into an instrument, I consider the guitar to be a piece of art, which can evolve and change during the building process. You won’t really know exactly what you are getting until you get it.

    1. I love the notion, if they play. The problem you have is now days kids starting out can get guitars real cheap that look alot more refined. Albeit look, do not know about sound.
      Question, know anything about the original Apollo Japanese guitar, I need info on the midol 2219

        I have you of these guitars and I think you are talking about a different animal all together. There are *cheap* guitars and there are *inexpensive* guitars. The guitar I got from this guy was an awesome inexpensive guitar not a shitty cheap guitar. If you just want a cheap guitar then go buy one at Sears.
