Our Story

Element Zero Guitars was founded in January 2020 after the revelation that a guitar building hobby should be much more than that. The idea was not to just make guitars based off the same old styles, finishes and expectations – but to go a different route. We build our instruments with the idea that every guitar is a work of art, whereby we find inspiration from the wood we work with, working it to become it’s own thing, giving each instrument a unique look and feel. No two of our guitars are alike – while they may share similar finish or color – each instrument is custom made, designed and setup for the musician.
