Welcome to Deadwood
We are dedicated to repurposing fallen trees and transforming them into guitars that tell a story.
We make guitars to order based on what you want your story to be.
Our Origin
Deadwood Guitar Company was created from the passion and love that the company’s owner, Jason Booth, has for music and woodworking. As a previous trim carpenter, Jason fell in love with the beauty and character of North Georgia’s local woods. After realizing how many trees in North Georgia fall without a purpose, Jason found a way to combine his passions of music and woodworking by starting Deadwood Guitar Company.
Jason started to build guitars as a hobby in 2004 and opened Deadwood in 2011. Since then, Deadwood Guitar Co. has become a world wide brand. Located in Lexington, GA, Deadwood Guitar Company has built guitars for the novice to the professional artist.
Our Mission
At Deadwood, we re-purpose fallen trees or ones that have to come down into something remarkable. A tree that might have ended up as firewood, instead is transformed into a beautiful instrument creating music for years to come and a family heirloom to be passed down from generation to generation.
From rough lumber to refined instruments, we pride ourselves on shaping, molding and hand crafting every piece with passion and soul. We define our guitars by the way they sound, their distinctive tone, overall warmth and natural beauty. Including, their characteristics such as grain, figure and color variations. We strive to create guitars that are authentic and sustainable as possible.
