Shabat Guitars – Custom Electric Guitars & Custom Bass Guitars

CRAFTED IN THE USA

by Avi Shabat and his small team

Shabat Guitars harken back to some of the earliest electric guitar designs, offering a kind of vintage-inspired style that will catch the eyes and ears of today’s players.

We specialize in build-to-spec guitars. Choose every aspect of your custom instrument and make it your own.

OUR GUITARS

There are no shortcuts in crafting the perfect guitar. That’s why we take the time to ensure that everything comes together just right to create a timeless instrument. We believe in conserving the classic guitar formulas that worked—and are still working today—but at the same time, perfect the imperfections that accompany many vintage instruments.
