Title

Sustainable, hand-made guitars equipped with the finest components and pickups and wrangled up in a one-man shop in Los Angeles, Calif.

Made from sustainably sourced urban trees from Los Angeles and her surrounding counties, this wood grew in local neighborhoods and communities and has a history all its own. You’re a part of that history now as this wood continues its life as your creative partner wherever the trail may take you.

The stars are out tonight! A product of the Post-War Boom, the first commercially successful solid-body electric guitar—the Broadcaster—was released in 1950 and with it, Leo Fender changed the music industry forever. After seven decades, the “T-style” design remains a golden arrow in guitarists’ quiver to this day. With features uncommon with T-style guitars, such as a set-neck and a 24.75” scale length, the Tone Ranger Guitars “Desert Star” model is my take on the classic. From searing solos as hot as Death Valley in July, to warm rhythms as mellow as an evening under the saguaro, the Desert Star puts legendary tone in your hands.
