Craftsman Creates Custom Guitars That are Playable Works of Art

Burls Art is a craftsman from California who creates some of the most amazing custom guitars out there. Using unusual materials like colored pencils, skateboard decks, epoxy, and even Himalayan salt, he manages to craft playable works of art.

Dubbed “guitarts,” his pieces have brought him a large following on social media, where he regularly presents his newest projects. This includes showcasing both the process that takes to make his unique guitars as well as the finished products.

The impressive craftsmanship and the performance of his “guitarts” have made them highly sought-after among both professional musicians, amateur guitar players, and collectors.

“Every guitar begins as an idea, with some ideas being more daring than others. The ultimate result is a functional, playable piece of art, each accompanied by its own dedicated video and backstory,” Burls Art explains on his website.

Burls Art says that “taking raw materials and molding them into functional and one-of-a-kind creations” is a “deeply ingrained passion” for him. His venture into craftsmanship started with crafting go-karts, model planes, and truck campers, before he decided to test his skills with guitars. It was then that he discovered his true passion and hasn’t looked back since.
