Built in Texas. Built in small numbers.
A father-and-son workshop building two models, one guitar at a time.
Preston came out of touring, studios, and stages. Now the work is shared with his father, Jim: walnut, leather, metal, and wire, each instrument signed with a small burned W.
Walnut, leather, darkened metal.
Wood. Solid walnut bodies, hand-rubbed in Tru-Oil. Maple headstocks receive the same finish.
Leather. 8 oz veg-tanned pickguards, cut, burnished, and engraved in the shop. The sunburst is dyed by hand, amber at the center and dark at the edges.
Metal. Steel is blued or fire-colored; nickel is blackened, carded, and sealed. Brass is left raw. The surfaces change with the player's use.
Common ground.
- What do you build?
- Made-to-order custom electric guitars built in Texas from wood, leather, metal, and wire. The current line is The Jack ($3,800) and The Lucio ($4,500).
- How long does a build take?
- New builds are currently waitlisted. Once a build slot opens, the build takes 12–16 weeks from deposit to delivery.
- Do you artificially relic guitars?
- No. The materials are chosen to age honestly through use. The marks should come from the player, not the shop pretending time has passed.
- What pickups do you use?
- Seymour Duncan Antiquity series, Telecaster bridge on The Jack, Strat set on The Lucio. Gunstreet 50s hand-soldered wiring harness on both.
One guitar at a time.
New Wimberly builds are currently waitlisted. Add your name below and Preston will write back when the next build slot opens.
