At Bear Creek, we take pride in the art of guitar making, ensuring that each instrument is meticulously crafted by skilled hands, setting us apart from “kit” guitars.

The forward-shifted Adirondack spruce braces contribute to its exceptional resonance and tone quality, while the ebony end graft, fingerboard, and peghead overlay add a touch of elegance. The nickel silver frets provide durability and a smooth playing experience.
