Custom Handcrafted Guitars & Inlay

Snider custom guitars are hand-built one at a time in Denver, Colorado, by luthier Mike Snider. Each instrument Mike produces is of the finest craftsmanship available, and a labor of love. No detail is overlooked, since a superlative guitar is the sum of all its parts.

Says Snider: "Every aspect of the instrument should inspire the player and enhance his or her playing experience. It has to sound great, which is what comes first. It should be a sound that you're really in love with. Just as important is the feel of the guitar. You need to be able to become one with the instrument, which means that the action and setup, and everything involved, needs to be just right. And of course, it should look great. It should beckon you from accross the room to pick it up and make beautiful music with it. It should be hard to put it back in its case. These are all the things I strive for when building a guitar."

Snider is not finished with a guitar until it meets these criteria, and more. Whether electric or acoustic, simple or elaborate, they are all high-performance works of art. And no two are alike.

Snider guitars are available custom made to your specifications, with the goal of unbeatable tone and playability, tailored to your specific needs.

Mike is also a wonderful inlay artist. His inlay is available as an adornment to your custom guitar, as well as for custom belt buckles and other woodworking projects.
