OUR GUITARS
THE BANSHEE "BATMAN"
THe Banshee "BATMAN" as played By Brodie Mauluka from BROBED STILS
THE BANSHEE "BATMAN"
The Banshee "Batman" is the result of years of research and design, together with a burst of imagination, to create a stunning instrument perfectly designed for any level of guitarist - from beginner to stage performer.
For example, the unique cutaway design and offset heel makes this the performers choice, together with Alnoco V pickups, tremolo, 5 way blade switch and Treble Bleed electrics
The offset heel means that performers can reach all 22 frets comfortably. The maple neck is a shallow D design and is finished to a beautiful soft sheen finish, which shows the grain beautifully but also feels smooth and comfortable in the hand
The unique headstock design can facilitate any type of tuning machines.
The bone nut is standard and improves sustain over the plastic ones that are often supplied with guitars
The fretboard can come in a variety of options - maple or rosewood are standard - and the fret size can also be customer specific. Whichever options you choose, the fret ends are smoothed off and the fretboard has rolled edges, meaning that the fretboard is comfortable to play no matter how fast you run your fingers up and down the scale!

THE STAGEMASTER
Imagine a owning a guitar crafted by a man who holds no less than five guilds in his craft, using the highest quality tone woods from sustainable sources, and then being able to customise it. Imagine no more!
Choose your own tone woods, your own pickups, your choice of inlays. You can even choose your own fret radius and scale length. And we will send you a personal and private Youtube link of the build progress, so you can watch it being built. Imagine that.
With unbelievable attention to detail, the Banshee Stagemaster is a work of art inspired by musicians who ask for no compromises. Designed to be light enough for long sessions, yet not compromising on the tonal quality that excellent tonewoods offer. Wraparound bridges offer awesome sustain, and facilitates quick string changes if required during performances. Locking tuning machines, bone nut and PAF humbuckers all add to the exceptional quality that this guitar offers.

Our
Story
Get to Know Us
The story of Banshee Custom Guitars is all about a friendship between Simon Owen and Simon Congdon. Many years ago the two Simons met up for a drink and discussed the possibility of making a guitar together. SImon O is a master craftsman with no less than 5 guilds to his name, and Simon C is a guitarist and professional. The deal was that it would be a social event, meeting up an evening a week for a drink and a chat and making the guitar. The result was astonishing - a really beautiful guitar made of maple and mininga, and it was called N047 - because that's how many beers it took to make it!
After that we made many guitars together, each time modifying and perfecting our methods. We each use our particular skills to make beautiful guitars the way you want them made. What could be better?
HOW IT WORKS
Once you have decided which guitar you want and any options you desire, get in contact and we will work out a quote. A deposit will be required purely to purchase the components, and then we will begin the process of building your guitar, which should take about 10 weeks. If there is a waiting list then you will join the queue and we will let you know at the time what the estimated build time will take.
