Testimonials
"Brian’s guitars are technical, visual, and musical masterpieces. Whether you have years of understanding behind you or are a beginner looking to branch out, Brian can advise at every level to ensure that you understand the decisions you’re making and receive the best guitar for you. Before engaging Brian, I had a loose dream of what I wanted—by the end, it far exceeded my expectations. Every inch of my guitar was discussed with detail and care. My Alcorn guitar is my favorite instrument. If you’re interested in a custom build, I would not go to anyone else."
“Brian Alcorn is a guitar building wizard. Every time you walk into Alcorn’s workshop you can plan on being absolutely blown away with every single piece of gear you pick up. He is an expert in the repair realm of guitars as well. Anything guitar wise you bring to him will come out on the other side sounding, playing and looking 100% better. 15/10 recommend working with Brian!”
"I used to be a name-brand guitar guy… but when my buddy recommended Alcorn Guitars, my perspective changed. Brian’s attention to detail, artistry, and craftsmanship are second to none. Now that I own one of Brian’s custom S-Type guitars, I don’t even want to touch my big box corporation instruments. If I had it my way, I’d have every one of my guitars made by Brian. I don’t think I’ll ever buy another guitar without knowing where it came from. Once you play an Alcorn, you ONLY play Alcorn."
"Alcorn Guitars is the best custom company I have worked with. Brian pays attention to every detail you give him to really customize the order and what you are looking for. I have a lot of customs in my Arsenal, and Alcorn’s are right there with all of them, if not better. He will take the time to get it the way you want it. Highly recommend."
Brian is incredibly knowledgeable about all brands and builds of guitars. I can call Brian for all my guitar maintenance, from fixing the action to just adding strap locks. His aesthetic eye and custom builds are incredible. He can build literally any guitar that you dream up and teach you everything about how to take proper care of it. Thanks so much for everything Brian!
Every guitar player knows there are guitars, and then there are special guitars. Guitars you can't stop thinking about once you put them down. Every guitar I've picked up that Brian custom made has this quality. I own a great one he personally built. It will not be my last.
Brian is a master technician when it comes to setup and repair. Having Brian take your guitar and adjust each part to within 0.010 of an inch, precision set the bridge, nut and neck is amazing. I don’t care how much you spend on a guitar, when Brian is done setting it up properly, it will play better every time. I don’t play a guitar that Brian hasn’t put his magic touch on. When it comes to repair, Brian is the man!
“If “Willy Wonka” made guitars - he would be Brian Alcorn. Brian’s meticulous attention to detail and innovative creativity has made him my “ride or die” guitar tech. Brian has taken my abstract ideas and executed the vision in ways I could only have dreamed of. I am so thankful that he takes the time to explain every piece of my guitar to me. I have learned more about the “science” of guitars in my time working with him than I ever have in my decade of playing. Thank you Brian for being an Artisan and Visionary. No one will ever work on my guitars but Brian from here on out."
Brian did an excellent job modifying my Spector basses to accommodate dual-gang 9-volt battery compartments. The work is flawless, as if it was done at the factory. He also smoothed out a rough spot in the poly finish, restoring the feel to like-new condition. You won't find a finer luthier or a nicer guy in the great state of Tennessee! 10/10, highly recommend!
