Paul Rhoney

Paul Rhoney is a semi-professional electric guitar maker in Portland, Oregon. Generally focusing on one-off custom builds and replacement parts, Paul has a great attention to detail and a commitment to quality. All of Paul’s work is backed up by a satisfaction guarantee and a money-back/repair or replacement warranty.

Ordering a hand made guitar from Paul is as easy as picking up the phone and calling, or sending an email with a description of what you’re interested in. Everything is made to order, unless specified right here on the website. When you order your guitar, you are dealing with Paul directly for the entire project. It starts with the design of the guitar, from basic specifications like body shape, scale length and finish, to more the complex parts, like fret size, fingerboard radius, and electronics. Paul’s eye for proportions and aesthetics is the cornerstone of his work and ensures that all of his guitars look classy, and remain visually and physically balanced.

Turnaround time can be lengthy. At this time it is not possible for Paul to go into guitar-making as his sole form of work. Honesty is paramount in all aspects of your project, and if for any reason your project has to be put on hold, parts are not available, or a previous time commitment cannot be met, you will be notified. Rarely is any amount of money taken up front for labor.
