FAQ

Where is Dean Gordon Guitars located?

Dean Gordon Guitars is based in Miami, Florida, where we design and craft all custom instruments in-house.

What makes Dean Gordon custom guitars different from factory guitars?

Each Dean Gordon guitar is individually handcrafted with bespoke choices for wood, hardware, and setup. We focus on modern playability, balance, and tone tailored to your playing style, instead of mass-producing the same standard models.

What is the purpose of the lower “horn” on Dean Gordon guitars?

The lower horn creates a deeper cutaway which improves upper fret access, reduces weight, and enhances balance when playing higher up the neck.

What customization options are available?

You can customize tonewoods, finishes, pickup configurations, hardware, controls, fret size, and more. We consult closely with you to translate your ideas into a guitar that matches your sonic and aesthetic vision.
