Clinesmith Instruments

Clinesmith Steel and Resonator Guitars

I am pleased to offer the Clinesmith console steel guitars, inspired by the design of Paul Bigsby.  I incorporate many of Paul Bigsby's parts and patterns to build these instruments, including the pickups.  I use only the finest select Birdseye or Curly Hard Rock Maple.  The aluminum castings are polished by hand.  I use Lacquer for the finish top coats, and buff these out to a piano finish.
