Our mission is to offer great sounding instruments that deliver the features of an expensive handmade guitar that s affordable, with no compromises in materials, tone or playability.

World class craftsmanship combined with timeless designs is what we strive for with each guitar. Solid and reliable instruments that will last a lifetime. Tone for days and playability like it was custom made for your hands. Parkwood uses the finest select, solid Spruce tops with a variety of high quality tone woods for the sides and back. Hand scalloped bracing provides strength to the spruce top and helps shape the vocal quality of the instrument. Hand selected spruce tone wood is chosen for its sound and beauty. Tone tapped for the ideal timbre and volume. Our Parkwood necks are machined from select mahogany, with final shaping by experienced hands. This creates a neck with the feeling of a custom made instrument. Just the right size for good tone, shaped for effortless playability, and providing the stability to last a lifetime. Acoustic electric models use state of the art Fishman preamps with a combination of inner body microphones and under saddle piezo pickups. Intuitive, easy to use features that accurately reproduce the voice of each instrument. Each Parkwood guitar goes thru several inspection and set up processes before they are sent to you. Detailed inspection and set up at the factory checks for any anomalies in workmanship. A final thorough inspection and set up process at the Parkwood workshop by seasoned technicians insures an easy playing guitar with the right set up and perfect tone. Effortless playability, with perfect tone, is our goal. Delivering solid workmanship and value without compromise, is what we strive for.
