Vuorensaku Guitars is a one-person custom shop in Jyväskylä, Finland, run by luthier Saku Vuori. After graduating from the Ikata School of Arts & Crafts in Ikaalinen in 2008 and assisting other Finnish luthiers, Vuori opened his own workshop in 2012 to build instruments, wind pickups, and handle repairs. In 2019 he completed his master exam and became, at age 35, the youngest Master Luthier in Finland.

The shop's main line is the T.Family — a collection of offset-bodied electric guitars and basses introduced in December 2014, drawing on classic Fender Jazzmaster, Telecaster, and Mosrite shapes and finished with heavily reliced, aged aesthetics inspired by mid-century Finnish houses and furniture. The catalog also includes the I.M.A. signature bass and the El Kamiina line of low-output single-coils wound with vintage Finnish coil wire from the 1970s, alongside more conventional Tele, Strat, P90, humbucker, and bass pickup designs.

Everything is built to order in small numbers — roughly ten to fifteen instruments per year — which has given Vuorensaku a niche reputation among players seeking boutique offsets outside the larger American and Japanese custom shops. Vuori has exhibited at the Holy Grail Guitar Show and his work has been profiled by Reverb and The Guitar Channel.

Vuorensaku Guitars has 3 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars and Electric Basses. Their gear is featured by 3 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock. Notable users include Billy Gibbons, Ian Martin Allison, and Jonas Bjerre.
