Wide Sky Guitars is the workshop of luthier Patch Rubin, who trained at the Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles and worked at Andy Brauer's Studio Rentals before spending a decade as a touring musician. He founded the brand in the mid-2010s and built its reputation on a line of handcrafted acoustic models — including the Dreadnought, 00, 000, Parlor 12 String, Reckoner, Junior, and the PL1 — before expanding into electrics. The shop operates off-grid and solar-powered, and originated in Taos, New Mexico before relocating to Hawaii's Big Island.
The brand's best-known instrument is the P125, a non-cutaway semi-hollow electric that debuted at Summer NAMM 2018 and draws on the Gibson ES-125 and Les Paul. It pairs a chambered mahogany body with a carved curly maple top, a glued-in mahogany neck, a 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard, and Arcane '57 Experience P-90s; a cutaway version (P125C) followed. Gary Clark Jr. has been publicly associated with the P125, helping raise the shop's profile among blues and roots players.
Wide Sky has 5 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitars and Solid Body Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 5 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Blues, and Funk / Soul. Notable users include Billie Joe Armstrong, Thom Yorke, and Gary Clark Jr.
