My name is Kevin L. Pederson, and I create each precision hand crafted guitar that comes out of Pederson Custom Guitars (formerly Abyss Guitar Company).

As you look around this site you will see some pretty cool guitars that I have had the honor to create for people. All kinds of guitars — arch top hollow bodies to master acoustics and each one are a custom hand made guitar, from scratch, from the ground up.

They say "a picture is worth a thousand words" — so a few pictures and some actual "hands on" player testimonials can become "priceless" for a truly interested person. A small handful of people can actually come here to check them out, but a huge majority — probably 90% of all the guitars on this site were sold and built for people, possibly like you, who didn't have that opportunity to come here first.

Read what these owners say and you will see the repeated feed back is "it was more than I expected" and "you answered me promptly" and "I just can't believe it" — feedback like that is what I strive for. I make every effort to meet the players demands, from both a collectors stand point to a purely gig playing musician …make no mistake — each and every one of these guitars are made to play and sound great first and look good second. And I might add — they look pretty awesome!!!

Consider this — it is going to be made for YOU. It's not "just a guitar you will buy"… it is being constructed FOR YOU!!

And my goal is for the next guitar to always be better than the previous one. Yours is next!

Don't be shy, just give me a call.

This guitar has been under development since 2007! I decided this last spring it was time to make this inlay a priority and bring this guitar to LIFE! It's going to become an EVA-JM guitar, and it's going to kick off my MASTER BRAZILIAN SERIES of guitars.

Back in '09 I had ordered two sinker redwood tops that are MAGNIFICENT and I was going to use one for this project. Being underwater for a century causes the minerals in the water to make the beautiful striping you see in the wood. They were cut and dried out and split open revealing that the glory of God DOES exists in nature. I also was looking for some amazing Brazilian Rosewood that would accompany this EPIC guitar and I did find some. I quickly snatched that up and filed it away in my shop.

Every once in a while, I'd take those awesome pieces out to touch them and listen to their tap tones. The redwood top just has a bell like ring and great sustain. If you've ever rung a bell by your ear and listened to the fundamental note ring you will understand that same element going on in the wood top plate…it goes on and on…sustain. This redwood top rings, and sings, and rings and sings…it's going to be great guitar.

Since this is a Master Brazilian Series Guitar, most of it will be Brazilian Rosewood. So the neck, fingerboard, bridge, headstock overlay and tuner buttons will all be Brazilian Rosewood. I am going to do blue paua abalone binding around the perimeter of the guitar including the neck and headstock. The binding and bevels will be made from this beautiful pommel Indian Rosewood I came across. The overall hue of the guitar will be a beautiful dark coloring from the woods I've chosen, and the sounds and tones will be warm, responsive, inviting and pianoesque. And the sustain will be incredible.

Pederson Custom Guitars has been on the road! In 2010, we attended the Newport Guitar Festival. We were excited to debut our latest archtop models, and found that players were equally enthused about our custom options. Take a peek at photos from the event.
