Briggs guitars arose as a result of my 25+ years of luthiery experiences and my 30+ years as a guitarist. My vision of the quintessential solid body guitar has resulted in the designs featured on this website. Briggs guitars are handbuilt in very limited quantities with the best tonewoods available. Every Briggs guitar receives the same loving attention to detail in construction, finish and setup as the next. The amount of skilled handwork required to produce a Briggs guitar is staggering. Work of this quality is hardly found in any production instrument today at any price. Every step from wood selection to final setup is carried out with unwavering scrutiny to produce an instrument of unsurpassed quality, playability and tone. Briggs Guitars offers a number of optional pickup configurations, bridge choices, hardware finish, neck profile and finish colors in hand-rubbed nitrocellulose lacquer, all adding up to a professional quality instrument capable of delivering maximum artistic expression and road-worthy reliability at a reasonable price.
