Feelgood Custom Shop
We've designed, redesigned, reverse-engineered, or refined over 25 body shapes to help you find exactly what speaks to you with no compromise.
With each of our models, practically every detail can be customized to suit you, and we welcome off-menu requests with open arms. We also offer a budget-friendly "Texas Classics" line of builds using simplified control schemes, premade necks, standard pickups/electronics, etc., which can be put together for many of our shapes.
See the Texas Classics Page for more info.
Almost any model below can be made as a Lefty, Baritone, Fretless, Bass 6 or 12-string on request. Visit the Necks Page for more info on how we pick the perfect neck for your build.
The "starts at" prices shown below reflect the lowest possible price for an instrument with a custom-made neck and body, often with no-frills specs or slightly stripped down features. Prices for builds are calculated based on the cost of your requested parts and amount of labor involved in the finish, wiring and assembly. Upgrades like figured neck woods, boutique pickups/hardware, block inlays and binding, complex finishes, etc. will add to the cost accordingly.
To get started on your order, simply scroll to the bottom of this page or visit the Order/Contact page and fill out an order form. We would be thrilled to bring your vision to life!
