Dog Tired Guitars has been crafting custom instruments in Perkins, Oklahoma since 2013, building a reputation that extends well beyond the small-town roots that inspire owner Roger’s work. Operating as a dedicated luthier shop, Dog Tired specializes in boutique guitar builds that connect players to their personal histories‚often incorporating reclaimed wood from family barns, farms, and meaningful locations into one-of-a-kind instruments.

The shop’s approach combines traditional lutherie techniques with meticulous attention to detail, from handcrafted binding to carefully selected tonewoods like walnut and pao ferro. Roger’s expertise in custom guitar construction has garnered attention from touring musicians who rely on his instruments professionally, praising both the playability and unique sonic character of each build.

Beyond custom builds, Dog Tired has partnered with artists like Needtobreathe since 2013, donating custom guitars that have raised over $125,000 for various charities. The shop also produces handmade guitar straps and accessories, all crafted in Oklahoma. For players seeking a boutique guitar that tells their story while delivering professional-grade performance, Dog Tired Guitars offers the skilled craftsmanship and personal touch that mass-produced instruments simply cannot match.
