Let Us Build Your Signature Guitar
Have you ever fantasized about creating and owning a guitar tailored to YOUR exact preferences? At Charlie Mike Guitars, that's our driving force. We listen to your desires and, in collaboration with you, craft a unique, handcrafted guitar that will become your signature model, all at an accessible price.
And we don't rely on a slew of computerized machines; we adhere to the traditional, manual methods of the vintage builders from the 1950s, infusing our craft with love from our workshop in Toledo, Ohio.
Let's begin!
Standard Models
Tango Charlie
Based on the form we all know and love,(and arguably the one that started it all) the Tango Charlie makes an outstanding foundation from which to add your own spice.
Solid body or semi-hollow, single coils, P90s, HBs or a combo of the above, tremelo or not, the list is endless...and we haven't even started talking about the finish options!
Pictured here is a custom TC semi-hollow with a Buckeye F-hole...yep an Ohio Buckeye fan ordered this. Let's work together to build your dream today!
Lima Papa
One of the classics. The Lima Papa is crafted after the legendary LP. Solid body and hard driving pickups, this guitar will fill the room with crystal cleans and raunchy distortion.
Victor Hotel
The Victor Hotel is a departure from the classic electric guitar forms. It entertains a fun shape that also caters to playibility with superior sustain and tone.
Foxtrot Victor
The Foxtrot Victor is certainly one of the most recognizable guitars. Slightly ahead of its time when Gibson(R) launched the first ones, but they caught on and filled many genres. From Albert King to the Scorpions, the V has won the hearts of many.
Sierra Charlie
The guitar shape that set the world on fire! Instantly recognizable and is timeless in both shape and tone. Its iconic three pickup standard, has filled the ears of music lovers for decades with the unique tone by combining the pickups.
Just. For. You.
