About us
Built by One Pair of Hands
I’m not a factory. I’m not a team. I’m one guy — Kevin — and I build every guitar myself by hand in my shop in Arizona.
I carefully select every piece of wood, every tool, and every component to create guitars that are precise, playable, and full of character. Every guitar I make reflects the balance of craft, attention to detail, and love of music that started me on this path. A guitar should be more than just an object; it should inspire confidence and connection every time you play.
This Is Rock and Roll
The Atomicato is the model that started it all. With atomic-age swagger, it has the guts to handle anything from blues and indie to full-on fuzzed-out grunge and beyond. Stage and Signature styles let you choose a visual finish that suits your taste — but the playability and performance remain consistent.
Modern Tools, Handcrafted Detail
Every guitar begins with careful planning and precise machining. But nothing replaces shaping, sanding, and refining by hand. I combine modern tools with traditional techniques to ensure each instrument looks great, plays beautifully, and feels alive.
My goal is simple: create guitars that inspire creativity, deliver confidence, and provide a performance you can rely on for years.
This is personal. This is Kevin James Guitars.
