BUILT TO BE PLAYED CRAFTED TO BE KEPT
Handcrafted electric guitars shaped around the player from the woods and electronics to the feel, finish, and final note.
A LIFETIME OF REFINED CRAFTSMANSHIP
What began with a passion for music and woodworking became a lifelong pursuit of better instruments. Today, every Dishaw guitar reflects decades of experience, thoughtful design, and an uncompromising attention to detail.

OUR ARTISTS
Meet Our Artists
This, in my humble opinion, is something that has been long overdue. I have been following Mark’s career for almost 40 years. He, without question, is considered to be one of the most prolific musical talents that has come from the CNY area.
Until just a few weeks ago I have never had the pleasure to meet with Mark and talk guitars. Mark and I will collaborate on a signature series of guitars that we will make affordable and available to all you guitar players out there.
It is truly an honor to have Mark as a player rep for Dishaw Guitars, not only is he a great musical talent, he is a genuinely nice guy and an easy hang. So go out and see Mark and the Maniacs play his Dishaw Custom Shop guitar and feel free to talk with him about what we have in store.
