How it works
Every Riley Guitar is handcrafted one at a time, built around your playing style, tone, and vision. Whether you already know exactly what you want or need help exploring your options, we're here to guide you through every step of the process.
Start off by choosing which Riley model you’re interested in and include any initial ideas or reference images. From there we’ll work with you to customize wood, color, finish, hardware, pickups, and any relicing to create your ideal guitar.
How long does it take?
Typical turnaround times are generally between four and six months, depending on the availability of specific materials required for the build.
How much does it cost?
The base price begins at $2,500 and may vary according to the cost of any components, such as a custom pickup or bridge.

Pickups
Single coils, P90s, JMs, Humbuckers; the world is your oyster. Now get out there and swim in it.
