The Art of the Build:

Bell & Hern Customs

 

Bell & Hern Customs is the ultimate collision of vintage expertise and elite modern finishing. This powerhouse collaboration brings together Bell, the industry’s most iconic master of "sparkle" and "candy" finishes,   "The Hern, a legendary figure in the vintage world and the visionary behind Guitars West. While Bell transforms every instrument into a shimmering, high-gloss masterpiece, Hern ensures each build is a world-class, high-performance tool rooted in his deep knowledge of historical instrument design.

From the cosmic aesthetics of the Black "Galaxy" Explorer to the punchy soul of the "Elwood" Tiger Sparkle Tele Bass, these instruments are more than just guitars—they are instant heirlooms born from a lifelong friendship and a shared obsession with quality.

Step into the wood and wire. Right now, Big Hern is likely elbow-deep in a 1900s restoration, buying and trading the rarest (Acoustics) to hit the Coast. Heather’s probably 'running late' picking up Guitar Accessories... or so she says haha. She's keeping the shop’s gear and merch on point. Then... there’s Johnny, on the "blue" grass again and having way too much fun. Hes likely making the videos you love or got lost again. Whether you want a handcrafted (Bell & Hern Custom) or a soulful (Folk Instrument), we’re here to help. At GW, we live the music so you can play it. Now, find your sound!
