Built by a Musician. Engineered for Players.

Ajax Custom Guitars isn't a factory. It's a one-person workshop in Central Missouri where every controller is built by hand, tested in game, and sent out only when it's truly ready.

Andrew's Story

Before Ajax Custom Guitars existed, there was a kid who fell in love with music. Andrew studied Classical Trumpet at a conservatory — the kind of training that teaches you that precision and feel aren't opposites. They're the same thing.

That musical foundation never went away. It just merged with a career in tech and engineering, and eventually found its way into a home workshop where custom guitar controllers are built one at a time, with the same care and intention you'd give a real instrument.

Because that's exactly what these are.

Our Mission

Ajax Custom Guitars exists to give players controllers that feel as serious as their game. Whether you're a casual fan or a competitive chart-shredder, you deserve hardware that keeps up with you — hardware that was built by someone who actually plays.

Every build that leaves this workshop is treated like a real instrument: set up properly, tested thoroughly, and made to last.

The Quality Standard

Before any controller ships, it goes through a real-world play test — not a quick button check, but 30+ minutes on expert-level charts. If something feels off, it gets fixed. No exceptions.

That's not a policy. That's just how a musician thinks about their gear.

Small Shop. Real Craft.

Ajax Custom Guitars is a small-batch operation — about 40 controllers a month, built from a home workshop. That's intentional. Keeping things small means keeping things personal. It means Andrew knows every build that goes out the door.

We're proud to be part of a community that takes this hobby seriously, including partnerships with top players that reflect our shared commitment to quality and fun.
