Frank Andrews Guitars
High quality vintage-style parts with premium pickups
Lightweight, vintage-style, with premium pick-ups, & excellent setup with superior attention to detail.
Frank Andrews Guitars began with a simple (and honest) goal: to build lightweight instruments for old, fat folks. What started as a practical idea quickly became an ongoing experiment in tone, feel, and balance—
and that spirit still drives every guitar we build.

Lightweight and built to be played
Each instrument is a little different by design. We work with new or lightly used, pre-finished bodies, always selecting first and foremost by weight. A typical 4-pound body results in a finished Tele or Strat-style guitar weighing in around 6–7 pounds, making them incredibly comfortable without sacrificing resonance or sustain.
Vintage-style with superior pickups
While weight matters, attention to detail and setup and adjustment for easy playability matters more. These guitars are created with bodies and necks from many sources, premium USA pickups and have much effort at great action and overall adjustment. We hope you can feel the attention to detail when you play one while seeing the vintage essence of the color, parts, and details.
