About Me

TM Custom Guitars“Mission Statement.”They say perfection can’t be reached but I believe excellence can. It is reached through consistency, integrity and pride in one’s work.Every guitar I build was designed by myself and my hands were all over it from conception to shipping. It is my ideal for that particular model.I put my name on these guitars and that’s the one thing you can always rely on, my reputation rides on every instrument that leaves my shop and I take that very seriously.If any guitar you buy from me comes other than advertised or does not function for any reason, contact me within the first 5 days and return it in the same new condition you received it in and I’ll refund your money (Minus any shipping costs.).0ur guitars are designed for the demanding professional.Our two piece models are all equipped with necks that are all made in America by an officially liscensed Fender replacement part manufacterer. (With the exception of the occassional, specifically advertised, custom job.)Our Neck-thru designs are all made in conjunction with H.E.L guitars right here in Pennsylvania. Their owner Shane Huss is a gifted craftsman and a guitar player. I'll put his work along side anybody's.Every pickup is personally picked myself. I pick only the finest pickups from various manufacters and they are my favorites that I have personally played throughout my 30 years of recording and performing experience. Every pickup based on a vintage design is a smoking representation of the original.All electronics are top shelf and hand soldered. No half size "Thumbnail" pots like Epiphone and Squire use and no wires that look like rejects from inside a phone extension. You can only get out of them what you put into them!Finally, every guitar is setup and intonated to absolute perfection by me, just to make sure you wet yourself when you play it for the first time.I want to meet people who believe a fine guitar is a piece of art, even before any person picks it up!I’m betting the guitar you buy from me becomes your new favorite guitar.I bet my name on it.I’m Tony Mollick, those are my initials on that headstock and I own this company.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Here is a testemonial from a TMC Deltatone owner, Mr. Fred Smith of O.S.S.R. recording artists "Bastard". See a picture of Fred with his Bathtub Rail in our gallery.Dear Tony, Before you stands a proud T.M.C. owner. The Bathtub Rail, which I call the Dragula,{ and therefore have named her Lily} is a fantastic sounding and playing guitar. She is a vital component of the Bastard sound. The combination of the GFS P-90 and the Mini Humbucker is raw, dark, & warm all at the same time, with great lows and the mini will kill small children and animals. It’s razor sharp but still has mass to it. I can truly play any style I choose, and she sounds great for them all. Bravo- Salute! Fred Smith, Bastard.
