NSWORTH GUITAR
crafting custom guitars from a part of American heritage
Ensworth Guitar masterfully creates completely unique instruments with deep, rich tones, completely custom to you.
Ensworth Guitars are handcrafted, custom guitars throughout. From the body style, number of frets, scale length, pickup configuration and finish. It's your guitar.
Regardless of which series, Heirloom or Road, they have the same pedigree. The quality craftsmanship, attention to detail and available options are the same. Each come with a matching custom strap and hard case.
In our Heirloom Series we are taking old woods from personal properties, such as log cabins, barns and other structures, with historic or sentimental value and creating masterfully playing works of art to be passed from one generation to the following ones. Each guitar is a completely unique custom creation. They all come with a certificate of authenticity verifying the type, age and source of the wood, as well as a digital file with as much information as we could find through our extensive research.
Beyond the history, Ensworth Guitars are of exceptional sound and quality. The neck-through design ensures maximum sustain and harmonics. We are masterfully crafting guitars from woods harvested during the founding of our country, by families that settled our lands. Each Ensworth Guitar is completed when our logo is hand branded onto the headstock.
The woods in these guitars are over a century old. The guitars are handcrafted to be a part of your family for the next century.
Our road series guitars are one of a kind sonic weapons. Every feature is designed to enhance the guitar's playability, durability, beauty and sonic perfection. Our neck-through designs are among the best playing guitars available. Without the need for a joint where the neck and body are glued or bolted together, we are able to carve the heel of the neck much further down. This allows you to play the second octive as easily and comfortable as you can the first one.
Since the neck and body are not glued or bolted together, our guitars are stronger and more stable, being full length laminated, from headstock to the but-end. There is nothing to loosen, flex or dampen sustain. All Ensworth Guitars include hand wound pickups, with many winding options, to dial in your sound perfectly.
Road Series guitars are fully built, wood sealed, all parts installed but not painted prior to purchase. That's where you truly make it your baby. It will be finished with your favorite color or colors, fade, highlight, logo, band name or hand pin striping. This feature is already included in the price.
Ensworth Guitars are custom to you, not to us.

LUTHIER EXPERIENCE
I have been building guitars from cabin wood for well over a decade. Building these guitars is a labor of love. During the hours that I spend sawing, filing, carving and sanding this wood, I often find myself reflecting on the effort, pride, resolve and all the human feeling that went into felling the trees, hand hewing them into logs, cutting them to fit each other, lifting them into place, chinking and daubing the spaces between the walls, and moving into a small, safe place in a great, harsh wilderness. These buildings were used, sometimes for many generations, by pioneering families as shelter and protection for their families and livestock. The wood these guitars are made of is truly rare and there will never be any more than exists today.
Owners of these guitars will have, not only a truly custom guitar of exceptional quality, but one made from the rarest of woods available. The guitars are heirloom quality and will bring the owners and their heirs’ pleasure for generation after generation."
