BIRDSONG GUITARS

Luthier Scott Beckwith builds custom solidbody guitars and basses along with the help of his wife, Jamie Hornbuckle, and fellow luthier Jake Goede. Scott has been building and designing guitars since 1989 and has been a player since the early 1980s. Birdsong specializes in pro-quality short-scale basses, but they do produce other instruments as well. Models include the four-string Cortobass (priced from $1,850) and the five-string Hy5 (priced from $2,300). For more information, visit Birdsong's website or contact them directly.
