What goes into making an Alpher Instrument?

We make bespoke custom guitars and basses with a massive range of wood, pickups and electronics options.


Our designs have been specifically engineered to be well balanced, ergonomically comfortable while retaining a classic look that create the Alpher identity.

Opting for a one piece neck and a true bolt on design to deliver the best tone and create the ‘Alpher sound’.

All our materials are specially selected from the highest quality woods and parts without compromise and we will help guide you using our expertise, making sure all the combinations will work in perfect harmony to create your dream instrument.
