The Shaka Bones Chop Shop originated as a personal hobby during the pandemic in 2020. Our lead developer, Lew, a passionate lifelong musician, started refurbishing his collection of budget-friendly guitars. His goal was to breathe new life into these "lower end" instruments, transforming them from ordinary entry-level guitars into exceptional, eye-catching "Hot Rods." Through his skillful modifications and expert craftsmanship, Lew discovered that with some care and creativity, these affordable guitars could be turned into unique, high-quality instruments with character and personality. Today, Lew continues to seek out these misfit guitars, customizing them to his exact specifications and turning each one into a one-of-a-kind work of art, showcasing both his talent and love for unique, handcrafted gear.

In addition to custom builds, Shaka Bones is proud to offer a selection of new entry level instruments for those seeking to embark on their own musical journey!
