Instrument design & consultation available ~
Start-up companies to established brands / manufacturers

Within four years The Birdsong Hand Built Guitar Co. has gone from a pocket-money startup to a viable, profitable small company. This was done through hard learned lessons, prior experience, and a sense of what was needed in the marketplace. Our original designs are different than anything else on the market, engineered from a player's perspective, and are now played around the globe as our company continues to grow.

Building on this reception & success along with our approach to real customer care, we are offering design & consulting service to others in the musical instrument manufacturing field who would like to take advantage of what we have learned. All interested are encouraged to contact Scott Beckwith directly. 

Whether as a player working in many styles of music, through involvement & ownership of music shops, as a teacher, working in instrument repair & modification, or this latest chapter where it all came together as head of Birdsong Guitars, Scott has lived and breathed music and guitar culture for 25 + years.  

Scott is making his services available to:
~ The start-up in need of marketable designs - there are dozens more than we will ever get to
~ The small company looking to find a niche to grow into - there are still a few open & waiting
~ The growing company in need of advice and design refinement
~ The medium sized company looking to expand into other price points or types of instruments
~ The established company in need of fresh designs to build or refinement of their existing designs
~ The large company looking to revamp the product line (a la the Greg Bennet /Samick arrangement) 
~ Companies seeking to license our innovative designs & features, such as the Hy5 and its special stringing (Pat. Pending) that gives this short scale 5 the feel & resonance of a larger, longer bass.




"As with everything I do I'll give you 110% of whatever I have to offer. I understand how electric instruments are built and can design with that in mind, from a workshop or small scale production to major outsourcing.  I am also well aware of the weaknesses in some of the products out there, having been in repair and retail environments, and can give valuable feedback & real advice in this area."

Information on fees and scheduling available upon request. Confidentiality & integrity are assured.
