Looking for an heirloom-quality keepsake, a playable work of art, or simply a fantastic instrument? At IT’S YOUR GUITAR, we offer boutique-quality custom guitars and basses at rock-bottom prices! Our mission is to put instruments in the hands of players, so we keep the prices as low as possible! Our instruments are more than tools for making music — with your signature (or company logo) engraved and burned into headstock (or body) these are one-of-a-kind heirlooms that will last for generations! Before you drive over to Blando Center or order an instrument from Dullsville Friend online, think outside the box! IT’S YOUR GUITAR will build you a unique, one-of-a-kind musical mojo machine crafted to your specifications for the same price as a basic entry level guitar!
