Dan Hehnke Electric Guitars

I have been building electric guitars for more than 10 years, and not a single one of them has been the same. My philosophy is to take the best materials and to connect with them before I even start building. I often start a guitar without knowing exactly how it is going to end up. This gives me the flexibility to realize when there is a chance to enhance the sound or play-ability of any given project, and to use that particular piece of wood the best way I can. I feel that many custom guitars these days lack soul, and are basically the result of an assembly line. You can rest assured that I've done everything I can to make each guitar as comfortable, stable, tone-full (is that a word?) and fun to play as possible. I want to create a guitar that you always want to just pick up and play. If you find yourself reaching for this guitar automatically whenever you have inspiration for a new song, lick, or lyric I have reached my goal. My guitars are inspired by the mountains and nature, and I love showing off the natural materials that I get to use. I use only thin oil or shellac finishes that are kind to the environment, feel great, and showcase the actual material that is being used.
