Parsons Guitars is a custom guitar shop founded by luthier Randy Parsons, building handmade instruments that blur the line between musical instrument and sculpture. The shop, originally based in Seattle and later relocated to Ventura, California, is known for one-of-a-kind builds that incorporate unconventional materials such as bone, cow skulls, copper, ebony, dried flowers, and recycled objects. Parsons works with hand tools and mid-century construction techniques, declining CNC machines and other modern automation in favor of a traditional, artisan approach.
Notable builds include the Triple Jet, a copper-clad guitar made for Jack White during his Raconteurs era, and the Peach Thief, an instrument finished with hand-applied dried rose petals built for singer-songwriter Karen Elson. Other recurring models include the bone-accented Strolling with Bones, the copper-and-recycled-materials Diablo Antigua, and the semi-hollow Red Vampire and Black Vampire. Players associated with the brand include Jack White, Jimmy Page, Joe Perry, Sammy Hagar, Peter Frampton, and members of Death Cab for Cutie and Modest Mouse.
Parsons has 5 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitars and Solid Body Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 2 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock. Notable users include Jack White and Henri Cash.
