Description

Blueberry Handmade Acoustic Guitar with Fanned Frets (Multi-scale) Jumbo Size built to order in 80-Days 

Fanned frets or multi-scale guitars place the frets on a calculated angle to give each string a different scale length. Fanned frets give guitars a longer scale length on the lower strings and a shorter scale length on the higher strings making this type of guitar ideal for regular as well as drop-down and non-traditional tuning. 

Blueberry Handmade Acoustic and Electric Guitars and Accessories are made on the tropical island of Bali by our experienced team of traditional wood carvers and artisans who have been practicing their craft for generations. Our unique workshop has been creating singular objects of musical and visual beauty since 2005.

This is your opportunity to own a unique instrument or to gift someone something that can be cherished for future generations.

The guitar in these photos can be recreated for you based on the exact same materials and specifications as the original, or we can modify it as you’d like.

If you’d like to create your very own design, we love challenges – our artist will sketch out your ideas for your approval before we start building and we will send you photos as we build so that you can watch the progress.

We can carve and inlay names, phrases and initials and we can even carve and inlay designs, faces and scenes from your photographs. Basically, if you can think of it we can get it onto your instrument.

Blueberry Guitars come with Gotoh Tuners and D’Addario medium gauge strings.

Your guitar will be delivered in a high-quality hard shell case with a warranty.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT CHANGING MODEL TYPES TO SUIT YOU BETTER: 

As these are “Special order / Custom Order” Guitars, we can also build the same motif as a different model – this means that if you like this motif but would like to order it in a different size we can build it as a Classical Guitar, Dreadnought Guitar, Grand Concert Guitar, Parlor Guitar, 12 String guitar etc. at no cost to you – just specify what you’d like on your note to us when you pay.

About us

Blueberry Guitars is the inspiration of Montreal businessman and musician Danny Fonfeder who conceived the idea of marrying outstanding craftsmanship to extraordinary art.

American luthier and educator George Morris and Balinese woodcarver Wayan Tuges brought together two great craft traditions, combining the best of Western technology with the best woodcarvers in the world.

Each guitar is handmade and unique in detail and materials. Each is a work of art worthy of the finest musicians.

A special group of craftsmen add their exceptional skills to every guitar before it is tested and judged ready to be called a Blueberry Instrument. Blueberry Guitars embody a marriage of East and West celebrating the joining of mind and spirit, functionality and artful reverence. No two are alike.

All meet the exacting standards demanded by great musicianship and art connoisseurs and can satisfy even those who demand perfection.
