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.
Not just for show, the Tone Ranger Guitars “Show Pony” model is meant to be rode hard and deliver every time. With the seated session player in mind, I shifted the neck forward and lengthened the contour of the waist, resulting in a voluptuous shape that sits perfectly balanced while providing superior upper fret access without the neck dive—even when standing. Inspired by Gretsch solid bodies of the ‘50s, the Show Pony’s wide tonal range includes the Nashville Sound, the Bakersfield Sound, and most importantly, Your Sound.
