FARIS GUITAR CO.
Rick Faris has been building handmade guitars since 2000. He has developed his own sound influenced by the 30's Pre-War traditions. Each guitar is custom and made of Hide Glue construction, built with top grade materials hand picked by Rick himself. Each guitar is finished with either Nitro-cellulose Lacquer or Hand Applied Oil Varnish. All woods available vary based on supply. Each guitar is built to a customer's order and there is generally a 2-year wait for one of Rick's works of playable art.
Rick is a very rare builder in that he can play at a professional level, giving him the pro's perspective. He understands how a superior guitar is supposed to feel and sound. He didn't come to guitar building from a woodworkers background but as picker who was searching for a new level of instrument.
COMING SOON…
Rick has moved his Faris Guitar Co. to Owensboro, KY and will be taking appointments for building classes and guided tours very soon. Stay tuned right here to find out how to make appointments and schedule tours or classes.
