Our Story
Every Guitar Tells a Story
Yours Begins Here
Rulesbreaker was born from a simple belief: the best guitars aren't built on assembly lines. They're crafted with intention, aged with purpose, and voiced for players who understand that tone is everything.
Each instrument we create draws inspiration from the golden era of electric guitars—when wood was old-growth, finishes were thin, and every detail served the sound. We don't replicate the past; we honor it.
Our relic finishes aren't just aesthetic choices. They're carefully executed to replicate the resonance characteristics of vintage instruments, allowing new guitars to breathe and vibrate like their aged counterparts.
This is the magic of aged guitars—and it's what we build into every Rulesbreaker instrument from day one.

Why Rulesbreaker
Tone. Feel. Legacy.
Vintage Tone Circuit
We wire every guitar using period-correct components and hand-wound pickups that capture the warmth, clarity, and dynamic response of golden-era instruments. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just pure, authentic tone that responds to your touch.
Hand-Aged Finishes
Our relic process isn't cosmetic—it's acoustic. Thin nitrocellulose finishes are carefully aged to replicate the resonance of vintage guitars, allowing the wood to breathe and vibrate freely. The result is an instrument that sounds broken-in from day one.
Premium Tonewoods
We source lightweight, resonant woods with tight grain patterns and natural aging characteristics. Every piece is hand-selected for tonal properties first, aesthetics second. Because the best guitars start with the best materials.
