Your Guitar, Supercharged.
Welcome to the Hot Rod 6 Strings Custom Woodshop. The premier destination in Connecticut for high-performance mods, custom builds, and expert lutherie.
What is a "Hot Rod" Build?
It’s your dream guitar, built by a master. We start with a classic body style and build from the ground up with your choice of premium tonewoods. Or, we create a high-performance "Part-Caster" to your exact specs. Vintage feel, modern performance, and 100% your vision.
The Custom Shop Process
1. THE CONSULTATION & VISION
You spec it; we build it. We discuss your ideal tone, feel, and look—from neck shape and resonance to pickups, hardware, and finish. Your dream rig starts here.
2. THE WOODSHOP & ASSEMBLY
This is where the magic happens. Whether it's routing a body for a Floyd Rose, carving a custom neck profile, or a full Part-Caster assembly, our master luthiers handle every detail by hand.
3. THE TOUR-READY SETUP
No guitar leaves our bench until it’s flawless. Every custom build gets our signature Tour-Ready Setup, level frets, perfect intonation, and rock-solid stability. Ready for the stage, right out of the case.
