Eight guitars a year.
Every one of them extraordinary.
Handcrafted acoustic guitars built with an engineer’s precision, a musician’s ear, and a philosopher’s refusal to accept convention.
SugarTree Guitars are built one at a time, in small batches of eight annually, by a builder who believes that extraordinary sound begins long before the first brace is glued. Four guitars each year push the boundaries of what acoustic instruments can be. Four are available by commission or sale to players who know the difference. And four go to musicians who need them most.
Tonewood, curing. The sound begins before the first cut.

The voice was always in the tree.
Our job is simply to find it and set it free. Every SugarTree guitar is the result of three stages of voicing — tap tuning at wood selection, flex feel after thickness sanding, and tap tuning through brace carving. We stop when the wood says stop.
