I Don’t Build Clones. I Design Originals.
I’m Erik Ulven — a guitar designer, builder, and creative guide.
I’ve worked on over 8,000 guitars since 2014. I don’t follow trends. I don’t copy classics. And I’m not here to mass-produce anything.
My work is about tone, feel, balance, and identity — shaping an instrument that sounds like you, plays like you, and stands on its own.
If you’re looking for something familiar, there are plenty of places to go.
If you’re ready for something original — that’s where I come in.
two ways to work with me
1. Take the course
Design your guitar using the process I built from 10+ years of pro experience.
You’ll leave with a clear concept, refined specs, and a complete blueprint.
2. I Design it
A 1:1 experience to design and build a guitar from scratch — your tone, your voice, your feel.
This is high-trust, high-touch design work. Serious players only.
More About Me
Industrial designer by training.
Builder by experience.
Creative initiator by nature.
I split my time between designing new models, building first-edition prototypes, and helping artists shape their sonic identity.
I live in Florida with my family, work in my own shop, and keep my client list small on purpose.
If that sounds like your kind of fit — let’s talk.
