Huss and Company Guitars brings over 35 years of luthier expertise to Portland’s music community. Founded by a lifelong player who began chasing tone with a well-worn Aria Pro II, the shop has evolved into a respected destination for custom electric guitar builds. The luthier’s approach stems from decades spent playing, measuring, and studying vintage instruments, including rare 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standards, translating that hands-on knowledge into exceptional craftsmanship.

As a builder trained through the lens of a working musician, Huss and Company understands what players need in terms of playability, setup, and tonal response. The shop’s fretwork and instrument construction techniques draw from both traditional and modern methods, ensuring each guitar delivers professional performance. Every piece of tonewood is personally selected from local suppliers who prioritize ethical sourcing and sustainable forestry practices.

Custom builds feature choice tonewoods, various neck profiles, nitrocellulose finishes, and premium pickup options from Planet Tone, Seymour Duncan, and Bare Knuckle. This Portland guitar tech’s mission is making boutique-quality instruments accessible to serious players seeking craftsmanship that honors vintage standards while embracing contemporary innovation.
