“I never build anything that I wouldn’t be proud to own myself.”
That is Jim Drake’s philosophy on each and every guitar that leaves his shop. He wants your Drake guitar to be the first one you reach for, at home and on stage. It boils down to what works best for you, now and ten years from now.

Careful attention to detail in both looks and playability, you’ll feel it the first time you pick one up. With neck through construction as a standard, these guitars ring true and solid. Hand rubbed or lacquer finishes, your choice. From the 12 inch radius, exotic wood fretboards, to the hand picked bookmatched tops, no detail is overlooked in the construction of these fine instruments. Of course, if you choose, custom radius boards can be created and bodies and necks can be made from whatever you heart desires.

If what you want is a one of a kind, custom instrument that is both beautiful and reliable, one that speaks from your soul and represents all that you are about, this is the instrument for you. Let us help put the guitar that is in your head, into your hands.
