That’s a lot of value, especially when you’re getting parts you’d be inclined to mod into other guitars that don’t have them. Diamond Guitars saves you the trouble, getting it all to you up front at an affordable price.

There are a slew of boutique and custom guitar brands that have little notoriety but are exceptionally good. It has an impressive product lineup, headlined by the Barchetta series, one of the company's more popular models, which can be found in a number of different major music retailers and stores. And even though these companies are not always as inexpensive as the bigger names, I’m often surprised at how affordable many of these guitars can be. Besides, cheap electric guitars are rarely made by hand. It is my understanding that international shipment via ocean cargo, and reduction of handcraft manufacturing facilities due to COVID, continue to put stress on companies such as IYV, and I am happily assured with my IYV investment in a finely handcrafted guitar, made in Vietnam (not China!). What a lot of boutique guitar builders will do is take an established body shape, like the Tele, and use it to make their own version of a custom guitar.IYV ILS-300 EGR Les Paul Solid-Body Electric Guitar, Emerald Green The images in the ad are of my personal guitar.

Thank you for an excellent new guitar, IJZ-300 semi-hollow copy of the very expensive Gibson ES175D. If you decide to have the company build you something, make sure you have everything mapped out in your mind (or on paper). Distorted Branch will give you control of every detail of whatever guitar you have them build. I’d recommend making a list. Cesar Huesca sure did: Diamond Guitars has garnered a larger following in recent years, and it's almost to the point where it would be hard to consider the company “under the radar.” Yet, it's still a far smaller outfit than the bigger names in guitar manufacturing. The greater share of guitar players, myself included, will see a lot of value in that. Plus, you know you’re getting something entirely unique that nobody else will own. There’s nothing wrong with the Strats and Les Pauls of the world. However, if you want to explore something you’re far less likely to see other people playing, there are some fantastic options available. In fact, there are far too many to count.

But what could one do, should he or she decide to branch out a bit? What lesser-known brands might be worthy of exploring? All these guitars are made by hand, which means you’re getting an instrument that’s entirely unique.
