Who We Are
Just like many of you, we're players. We love the art, we love the time spent on the instruments, and we are enthralled by their beauty and the craftsmanship.
In addition to that though, our creator, Ron West, also has a passion for woodworking. Guitar + woodworking = Luthier...so...here's Keytone Guitars. We embody the spirit and the art of the design, the build, the materials, the target tones, and having a blast doing it.
Our Mission
Our mission is to find that sound together
This is not some general store where you can just go in and hunt for the random thing that you need. This is a place to make dreams come true. We need each other for this to happen. You tell us what you want or need and what you envision it to be and we work to get that to your hands. You say you want a specific sound with decent sustain and you want it to be a burst design with wild and crazy colors. Well okay! We come up with a plan, tell you why, you make tweaks if you like and we come up with a design we can tackle like an NFL lineman.
Core Values
Innovation
Think outside the box. We may intro you to designs and solutions you have never touched before. Be open to new horizons of design.
Transparency
We tell you where we are every step of the way. Some like to be surprised but most like to see their creation come to life. We will show you each step every time it is worked on all the way to its birthday!
Passion
We have said it a few times on this site. Passion is what drives us. It's what motivates us to come up with new and exciting ways to get that sound out there. As long as the passion remains, the products will be great.
