Swanson Guitars

I build one of a kind instruments... guitars, both acoustic, electric, and octave mandolins.

If you would like a custom handmade guitar, bouzouki or octave mandolin made to your specifications, ask me! We'll see what we can come up with.

Every instrument I build is different and individual - just like those of us who play them!

You can also see, play and purchase Swanson Guitars at Rainbow Music, in Grand Rapids Michigan.
At this time, there's a koa/spruce octave mandolin, and a koa/cedar L-00. Rainbow Music should have mahogany/spruce Fatboy very soon.

Call Rainbow for availability, or other questions

I have baseline prices for most of my instruments. Most guitars start at 2000.00 for a basic model.
As each guitar is unique, inlays, cases, special pickups, exotic woods..., prices change as options are added.

Please contact me and we'll work that out together

Thank you for looking - please enjoy the website!
