Cave and Canary Guitars is a boutique instrument company founded in 2014 by Casey Crescenzo, the singer and multi-instrumentalist behind the band The Dear Hunter. The brand grew out of Crescenzo's habit of modifying off-the-shelf guitars to match his touring needs, and its instruments are inspired by designs from the 1960s and 1970s. Early builds were produced in small runs as custom and partner-built pieces, and the company later developed a production-line model, The Meteor, through a manufacturing partnership in South Korea.
The lineup centers on celestial-themed names and includes the Meteor (available in Standard, Deluxe, and Modern trims), the semi-hollow Orion, and the Solaris, which has been built in both standard and baritone configurations. The Galaxia is the brand's bass offering, and the Starshine — a transparent overdrive with switchable soft and hard clipping modes — marks the company's first venture into effects pedals. Additional models such as the Hircus Rex have been teased as forthcoming designs.
Production volume is low, with many instruments sold directly through the brand's site or via Reverb, where listings sometimes appear under the related "Cave & Canary Goods" name used for The Dear Hunter's merchandise storefront.
Cave & Canary has 3 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitars and Solid Body Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 4 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock. Notable users include Dustin Kensrue, Casey Crescenzo, and Rob Parr.
