E11even Guitars is located in the Endless Mountains region of Northeast Pennsylvania. I have been a guitar lover since the early eighties and have always enjoyed customizing and modifying ordinary "Casters".

My mission is simple - to offer quality affordable custom built guitars made with options and materials typically not common among production brands or only from high-end custom shops. I know what it's like to be a guitarist on a budget. Sure, we all want to own a vintage Fender or Custom Shop guitar but the reality is they are priced out of reach for most of us. I aim to offer some nice custom guitars that are fairly priced and will outperform options offered by the box store brands at the same or even higher price points. We are also an authorized dealer for many brands and will offer some quality parts in our Reverb shop as well. Please feel free to contact us if you are looking for something we don't have listed. We do many special orders and can be competitive or even be best price on many parts and accessories.
Thanks for stopping by!

A quick note regarding packaging:
We take every opportunity to minimize our environmental impact and reduce waste by reusing nearly all packing materials that come into our shop. What cannot be reused is recycled. This means you will likely receive items from us shipped in repurposed alternate brand shipping boxes and padded envelopes. Please reuse these packing materials in an environmentally conscious way, or recycle them. Let's work together to reduce our consumer waste, thanks.

We generally build custom casters that will fall into one of the following classifications and approximate price ranges:

Garage Series: ($300-$500)
Garage series guitars are my economy builds and are ideal for beginners, students and garage jammers who don't want to tie up a lot of money in gear or as good low cost backup guitars. The goal was to build the best guitar I could at the lowest cost while maintaining an acceptable level of quality. They are assembled mostly of import components although some USA parts may be used when cost allows. Body and neck finishes may be done by manufacturers or in house at E11even Guitars. Don't be afraid of the quality of import parts in this series. Yes, there is a lot of junk out there on the market but there is decent stuff as well that can build a pretty solid guitar at a low price. Fortunately, I am patient enough to seek out the good stuff.

Standard Series: ($600-$1000)
Standard series guitars are made from a combination of high-end import (Asia or Europe) and USA made components. Here I can start to offer customer spec'd builds and more exotic components and configurations you definitely won't find in your usual supply stores. Bodies are typically two or three piece construction in solid colors or may feature transparent finishes that show the natural beauty of the tone woods used. Necks can be either 1 or 2 piece construction. Electronics and hardware will be from quality manufacturers.

Pro Series: ($1100-$2500)
Pro series guitars are made of USA made components whenever possible. Let's face it, some things just aren't made in America anymore so I may need to use a high-end import part to complete a particular custom build. Bodies are 1 or 2 piece construction and necks can be 1 or 2 piece construction. Finishes are typically natural Nitrocellulose Lacquer finishes. Electronics will be USA made and feature top name brands or reputable Independent boutique pickups.

DreamCaster Series: ($2000-?)
DreamCaster series guitars are a very limited offering of guitars built in tribute to the old Dream Machines of the late 70's and early 80's. These are built as closely as possible to these iconic guitars using the same types of tone woods and components and even NOS parts when possible. Bodies and necks are 1 piece construction and finished in Nitrocellulose Lacquer. Hardware is primarily brass and pickguards are made of polished brass or enamel coated and anodized aluminum (the originals were built both ways). Electronics are true to the specs of the originals in every detail. Two models are offered: the DreamScaster - a tribute to the strat styled Dream Machines and the DreamTcaster - a tribute to the tele styled Dream Machines.

We are happy to custom build a guitar to your requested specs. Just call or email with what you are looking for and we'll give you a quote.

Thanks for your interest!
