This is whitehurst Lutherie, home of the world's coolest guitars. And I'm Ryan Whitehurst, Creator of the world's coolest guitars.
This webpage is still in it's infancy, but I'm workin' on it.
I've been doing guitar repairs for the last seven years in conjunction with Hart Music Company in Grand Junction. All along the way, I've been listening to the ideas and input of my customers, and I've been developing solutions to the problems that are frequent on factory-made guitars.
Some of the standard features on my guitars include:
No neck heel. The neck is blended into the body. On my regular six string guitars, the access is unlimited all the way up to about the 27th fret.
Direct mounted pickups. The pickups are mounted directly to the body of the guitar. This improves calrity and resonance.
Top quality hardware. ABM, Schaller, Tone Pros, and Floyd Rose Original are standard.
Fretwork is done completely by hand. If you've never experienced playing a guitar with hand-pressed, hand-leveled, hand-dressed, hand-polished frets, then you don't know what you've been missing. The feel and playability is incredible.
