CUSTOM GUITARS
In our custom shop we design and build what many believe are the finest acoustic guitars on the planet. Music is our passion. We take pride in sharing the beauty and joy of music with others.
Ken began building guitars over 20 years ago, around the belief that every musician deserves a high-quality, best in class instrument. The inspiration behind the unique design of a Bailey Guitar results in a bold sound, an acoustic machine, a player’s guitar, part woodworking, part the art of making a joyful noise from a piece of wood. Each one becomes very personal to the people that own them.
The voice of an acoustic instrument should fill the room with perfect tone and timbre. Ken has the knowledge and experience to help you in your quest to find the right instrument. All custom guitars come with a lifetime warranty and full money back guarantee if you are not totally satisfied.
"Ken I was playing my (your) dreadnaught D-18 today and it occurred to me that I ought to tell you that I play it as often as my Martin OM (which I always thought the best guitar I have ever played). However, your guitar has mellowed a little, and now sounds even better than it did when it was in your shop. Anyway, this is just to let you know how much I love it and I play it almost every day. Thanks millions!" ~ Mickey
"Ken has always been fair and done excellent work. From my fixing and setting up my old beater guitar so I could keep playing shows, to helping me own a Bailey acoustic! Which I can't be more excited about! I recommend calling Ken if you are in need of any work on your guitar, or any instrument for that matter, or are in the market for a custom, hand built instrument." ~ Adam

"I was lucky enough to get a 2012 Bailey made for me based on a Norman Blake model. I love my guitar." ~ Cheri Hornsby
