The History
In ancient mythology, the Chimera was a creature of impossible beauty and terrifying power part lion, part serpent, part goat a fusion of distinct natures into something entirely new and formidable.
Today, that legendary spirit lives on in the Chimera guitar.
Like its mythical namesake, the Chimera embodies multiple personalities within a single, stunning form. Built with an American Alder body that delivers the ideal weight and resonance, married to a roasted maple neck that’s as beautiful as it is stable, this instrument represents the perfect fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation.

OUR PICKUPS
At the heart of the Chimera’s transformative power lie the hand-wound pickups. I wanted to have full control over the sound of the guitar. This means that if you order a guitar wanting a specific sound in mind we can do it for you.
This isn’t just a guitar, it’s a shapeshifter.
