Gernandt specializes in building custom stringed instruments by collaborating closely with each customer synthesizing an understanding  of their unique preferences and needs. Together, they choose the details that define the instrument. This includes wood selection, bindings, rosette, tuning machines, inlay, etc. The possibilities are limitless, depending on the budget and specifications. Custom instrument detail and inlay options are particularly diverse, ranging from Mother of Pearl and Abalone to wood, silver, and other materials. Bob’s craftsmanship shines through as he works to create a truly one-of-a-kind instrument that captures the customer’s idea of their “dream Guitar”.
