It all started with one guitar - trying to find a quality, compact-sized, lightweight guitar with incredible sound for a person of small stature.

Geoff Ellsworth is a musician and artist and when he tried to find a smaller, light-weight, electric guitar for his partner, Anne Wheaton, he was surprised to find in a massive market of electric guitars there was not one smaller sized electric guitar that offered high-quality, full-scale neck, and great sound.

Not to be deterred Geoff worked with a local guitar shop to strip down some existing mass produced youth guitars and re-built three guitars with quality components. They looked amazing but would go out of tune and still lacked the full sound we were looking for so we decided to design our own.

We were fortunate enough to get a recommendation to work with Jason Villa, a highly experienced guitar builder.

Numerous prototypes and years later we are finally ready to release The Lonesome Coast Surf Guitar!
