Hand Built, American Quality

Cirrus Guitars stands out in the acoustic guitar world by meticulously handcrafting traditional American-style instruments that deliver exceptional tone and playability, all while using premium all-solid woods and high-end components. Founded with the expertise of luthier Mike Franks (drawing from his high-end custom work at M.J. Franks Guitars), Cirrus blends decades of masterful hand-building techniques with modern precision technology and efficient production methods. This smart approach allows them to create truly boutique-quality guitars at price points that are significantly more accessible than those from many established production brands or even some smaller custom shops.

Custom Options

Other boutique brands have introduced more "accessible" or entry-level lines of guitars to reach a broader market, these models are typically fixed-spec offerings: standard woods, no alterations to bracing, binding, inlays, neck profiles, or other details- with little to no room for personalization. Cirrus Guitars takes a refreshingly different approach by building their entire lineup around the same uncompromising commitment to handcrafted quality and premium all-solid tonewoods that defines high-end luthiery, yet they make meaningful customization genuinely attainable without abandoning their core mission of affordability.
