Creston Electric Instruments is a producer of vintage-style custom solid body and chambered electric
alt-country, country, blues and rock genre. Crestons have been made from centuries-old barn beams, spare instrument parts from customers, and common lumber yard 2x12 planks.[1]
While customers can specify unorthodox materials, many choose traditional hardwoods for solid body guitars such as ash, poplar, mahogany and basswood. The company outsources its guitar necks.
