Peekamoose |
1983 to present |
"I
established Peekamoose Custom Guitars as a company 25 years ago
in 1983. Prior to starting the current CS line I was making one
off totally custom to order instruments, which I still do but
most people do not require instruments in the full custom price
point.
The
instruments shown on the Peekamoose site are our custom shop
limited production models. We began making them in 2003. The
CS instruments shown on the site employ the most requested
features of the "one off" instruments but because we have
standardized the product line we can make them more cost
friendly.
Most of the CS instruments
average between $3,700 & $4,700 USD. The "one off" fully custom
designed instruments start at roughly $6,500 up to about
$15,000. I have not kept a photo archive of the one offs. I
was not concerned about keeping track until I began to think of
this from a manufacturing perspective.
We make them here at the shop
in NYC, USA. Peekamoose has been building and repairing
stringed instruments for 25 years. Our current location is shop
#5. We moved to the 30th street location in April of 2005.
Before that we were on 46th street for about 18 years. We were
in one suite for about five years then moved to a larger suite
on the same floor. Prior to that we were on Broadway for two
years. And before that on the east side for about two years.
We build instruments to order
and we make a few to keep around as demo models for the shop.
It's a limited production operation, if someone were to
buy one from a previous owner, the new owner would have to call
or e-mail the shop, give us the serial number and we'd look it
up. There is no clever coded dating scheme.
Anyone purchasing one of
our instruments second hand can contact us and we should be able
to ID the instrument. Our company was built on the premise of
strong customer support. We have been doing warranty product
support for most of the major guitar manufacturers for as long
as we have been in business. Doing that level of support has
been and continues to be a very useful education."

"My guitars are dated on the label visible right through the
sound hole.
I also have a serial number stamped into the neck block starting
with my 33rd guitar. I built 32 guitars in my first phase of
building and they are hand labeled. After a 5 year break where I
built pipe organs, I reorganized and redesigned everything. The
serial number of that first guitar in phase two is 32001. The 32
signifies the first 32 guitars, you then add the other numbers
to 32 to get the actual number in order. So all subsequent
serial numbers start with 32. Or, the last three numbers show
the chronologic order in phase 2! Simple, yet complex! Thanks.
