Introducing one of Astha’s special builds from last year.

This was our very first left-handed guitar, handcrafted for a customer in India.

Building a left-handed guitar isn’t something we do every day. It requires careful planning and thoughtful adjustments throughout the entire build process to ensure perfect playability and balance.

This instrument also features an Evertune bridge—our first experience installing and working with this premium hardware. It was both a rewarding challenge and a great learning experience for our team.

Every custom guitar tells a unique story, and we’re proud to have been part of this one.

Introducing the custom Astha Electric Guitar!
Built last year for Siyoni, this guitar was a special gift from her father as she embarked on her musical journey.
We received many custom requests for this build, which you can see in the pictures. Notably, her signature is inlaid on the fretboard with white mother of pearl, and all the inlays are also done in pearl. The custom colors on the headstock and top turned out just as they envisioned!
Crafted from beautiful Sapele wood, the guitar showcases a stunning natural brown tone.
Equipped with 1959 Haeussel humbucker pickups for both the neck and bridge, it offers a perfect blend of aggressive and soft tones.

Introducing India’s first Traveler Guitar! 🇮🇳🎸
Built with passion last year, we created three medium-sized models, each featuring a unique wood combination. Designed for the musician on the move, this guitar fits easily on a bike, in a car, or in an airplane overhead bin.

This is the ultimate companion for musicians on the move. Whether you are on a bike or a flight, it takes up minimal space and fits perfectly in overhead bins.

Why it’s perfect for travel:
• Simple Mechanism: A single smooth k**b on the back lets you detach the neck in seconds.
• Stay Organized: A special nut design ensures your strings stay in place when the neck is off.
• Quick Setup: Only minor tuning is needed after putting it back together.
Premium Features:
• Hardware: Equipped with Gotoh locking tuners for perfect stability.
• Sound: Features an LR Baggs HiFi pickup for a pure, natural acoustic tone.
• Protection: Comes with a custom-fit protective gig bag. (We are also excited to announce that a hardcase option will be available very soon)

Here’s what makes this guitar unique:
- Model: AM/ CB Traveller Guitar
- Top: Swiss Spruce
- Back & Sides: Mahogany
- Bridge & Fretboard: Ebony
- Headplate: Indian Rosewood
- Scale Length: 25,5 with a 45mm nut width
- Binding / Bevel: Indian Rosewood
- Finish:Matte
- Tuning keys : Astha Custom made tunners
