What are Sully guitars?
I’m glad you asked! I can sit here and spew what I call “luthier boilerplate” and go on about hand selected tone woods or being vintage inspired (we aren’t, unless you’re like me and your idea of a rad vintage guitar is an ’83 Rhoads), but my guitars should look great, play great, sound great, and get out of your way. I want to add a sense of fun and build you something that gives you the permission to be a little extra; the best version of you. Kinda like those days when you’re wearing your favorite jeans, your hair looks great, and you feel a little bulletproof because YOU. LOOK. GOOD. Now take that feeling, grab a guitar, and let’s go.
The more serious side of my answer is that I’ve dedicated decades to ensuring that each guitar I build is a little better than the previous one. I’ve gone from making parts guitars to building with hand routers and templates in my garage, to incorporating CNC machinery, working with my friend Grover (yes, that one) on a limited edition run of my flagship model and working on custom pickup recipes for our guitars, to adding PLEK technology to ensure that each one of our customs play as effortlessly as I expect. Those expectations carry over to our partners in Korea who manufacture our Conspiracy Series guitars; I’ve worked hard to ensure that the guitars are well built and carry the spirit of what we do; I’ve visited the factories to go over the manufacturing in person. I’ve done all of this for you, and if any of what I’m yammering on about resonates, I invite you to give us a shot. Sully Guitars aren’t for everyone, but they’re probably for you.
Your pal,
Sully
“These guitars are versatile; they can be really dynamic and subtle, and they can bark like a dog and be really outrageous as well. They also feel like I’ve been playing them my whole life right out of the box. Thanks Jon Sullivan for improving my quality of life!”

DESIGNING YOUR DREAM GUITAR
Years of experience and a lifelong journey of design refinement go into every guitar we build, because it’s our goal that every Sully guitar is the best Sully guitar made up to that point. From our “instant friend” neck profile, to careful materials selection, to a focus on ergonomics, consistency is an important part of What We Do. Another focus of Sully Guitars is ensuring every guitar is unique to the customer. Combining the consistency of our build process with the deep customization available in our USA Custom Series lineup is what makes Sully Guitars fit you like an old pair of jeans.
I would encourage you to “Meet The Models” below, where we guide you through the key elements of Sully Guitars designs to give you an idea of which may be best for you. Each model has a detailed custom quote form so you can spec out your dream guitar and get in touch with me about starting your build.
PICKUPS
Sully pickups are hand-wound in the USA and available for order in our custom guitars, as an upgrade to our Conspiracy Series™ models, or à la carte for your own projects. Based on some of Sully’s favorite recipes with some extra spice, Sully pickups give you a variety of output and magnet choices to make choosing your favorite simple so when you plug in you’ll say “yep, that’s the sound I’ve been looking for!”
Sully pickups are a great way to kick your tone up a nacho without breaking the bank, with over a dozen models and lots of fun cosmetic options to choose from.
