Blueberry Handmade Dreadnought Guitar Floral Motif – built to order 90-Days Delivery
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.

Since we started building Blueberry guitars in 2007 we have created many beautiful motifs and several of our customers have requested that we bring back some of our original designs.
Based on these requests we have been going through our photo archives all the way back to 2007 and choosing what we believe are our most exceptional designs and offering them to our customers on a “Special Order/ Custom Order ” basis.
This means that we will reproduce exactly the same guitar using the same materials and specifications or we can make modifications such as dimensions, materials, and motifs and even change it from a right-handed to a lefty guitar based on your request.
We can also add specific engravings such as your initials or a note to a loved one.
Special Order Blueberries will take three months for us to build and we will send you photos of your guitar’s progress as we build it.
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.

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 musicians and artists.
