Look out for what's coming this summer

The new line of 2025 models

Dire Wolf Series

These guitars are entirely handcrafted from the finest materials. They are designed to be played either lefty or righty and can be switched with minimal effort. We only use a power saw, router, and sander, all powered by our solar system. Every piece of wood we use, a tree is planted by Tree-Nation.  Keeping checking for updates or order yours today 

Dire Wolves

These hand-crafted pickguards are made for exotic hardwoods and include all controls. With our patented pending system, you can convert any guitar from righty to lefty and lefty to righty. This requires some minor wire work to add the pickup plugs. Also included is a brass nut that accepts both right and left string setup  

Wolf Series Electric Guitar

Coming this Summer, 2025, we will be offering  new, amazing 

 Wolf series electric guitar! Each guitar features an amazing hand-carved wolf. These are designed for Lefty or Righty in just three steps

Dire Wolf Howl Series

  

This line might be the boss's Swansong. He brought out this work of art and never mentioned it to us. Patents have been filed so that I can share the gold standard. 

This is a thinner acoustic guitar (about an inch), and it can be set up lefty or righty very easily. They have a hand-carved sound hole and neck base. Wolf-themed, of course. The best part is these are wired with an acoustic pickup AND an electric pickup. You can toggle back and forth. Now you can play the man who sold the world with one guitar! 

The sound is amazing in all modes. I guarantee this will be the guitar you see in a room and have to pick up and play it. 

Super sale

Aside from custom build to order we train future Luthiers. Typically, their first build has some slight imperfections.  These are still beautiful guitars wired for sound and play just like our custom line. These imperfections are on sale now, deeply discounted.

Pickup Pickups and more pickups

Pickups wont make you play better, but you can sure sound better

At Canale Customs, we use only the best pickups on the market. It is incredible how much a pickup can make a difference.   It is also important to pair the correct potentiometers.

We can install a pickup that looks cool on the guitar and sounds fantastic.  


Regardless of your knowledge of pickups, we are here to help you in your selection process based on how and what you play. We can go from the brightest sound to the dirtiest sound around. All of our wiring is guaranteed for the life of the guitar, and there is NO buzz or hum ever. 


We use single coil, Humbucker,  P90 the super cool lipstick.  Alnico or Ceramic, coil split or coil tap, passive or active, we have you covered. If you're looking for a cream di la creme, consider the DiMarzio line. You can never go wrong with a Seymour Duncan or EMG.  We also wind our own and like to use the old-school lipstick pickups from the 60s. 


Wiring specials

With a great pickup comes choices in wiring, Pots, and controls.

At Canale Customs, we pride ourselves on cool and unusual requests from our customers. This started a while back when a customer wanted to go from two to one volume control and instead add a bleed pot. This was very cool, and we implemented a kill button. 


The boss loved this one project, a customer who is a Nirvana superfan and cover artist.  Wanted a replica of Kirt's acoustic. For "The Man who sold the world." Kirt played an acoustic Gibson with a three-way switch and a P90 pickup installed above the sound hole. The switch went from off (all acoustic), left acoustic pickup on, and right was the p90. Very cool. Check out Kirt on MTV Unplugged on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fregObNcHC8


Regardless of your knowledge of pickups, pots, and wiring, you only need to tell us how you play and what you want it to do. The boss is a big deadhead and loves Mr. Doug Irwinn and Steve Cripe. We have made onboard sound blasters with separate outputs, so you have one with effects, one without, or one active and one passive.  We love a challenge. 


Kill switches, blending pots, added tone pots, add capacitors, onboard effects, active pickup controls... we've got you 

Accustic Pickups

Add that plug-in option, either to amplify or to add effects

As with electric guitar pickups, there are many options. We happened to like this unit because of its consistency and quality. The battery is right behind the tuner, which makes it easy to access. I suggest that my customers remove the battery when they're not using it. Otherwise, those batteries drain rather quickly. 


These involve cutting into the side of the guitar. If you have a 1937 Martian, I would go with another option. We would install a "place in" system that requires minimal to no cutting
