DG Lee Guitars & Custom Guitar Bodies
Founded on the principle of delivering custom guitars that are unique and tailored to the individual guitar player. We use proprietary techniques to create guitar tops that are gorgeous and like no other guitars in the world. Not only are our techniques innovative, we use some of the most desirable woods we can get our hands on such as Swamp Ash, Alder, Black Walnut, Blond Mahogany, Mahogany and other exotic wood and hardwood.
What would custom guitar tops be without the capability to design custom shapes or just modify traditional shapes like the Stratocaster, Telecaster, or Ibanez RG. If it can be designed and made out of wood would could probably build it for you.
