Alpher Instruments – When Craft Picks a Fight

Alpher Instruments doesn't just build guitars — they forge tone weapons.
In their Yorkshire workshop, Alex Wood and Chris Dobson bring each instrument to life with obsessive attention and zero tolerance for shortcuts.

These guitars don’t play it safe. Instead, they balance bold looks with real-world performance. Whether you lean toward the muscle of a Cobia, the precision of a Mako, or the swagger of an Opah, each design offers attitude and comfort.

You don’t get “options” — you get a conversation. Alpher works with you to craft an instrument that plays like an extension of your will. Every choice — from tonewood to finish — serves the music, not the marketing.

And they don’t mess around with the hardware either:

  • Hipshot bridges & tuners
  •  Schaller strap locks
  •  Bare Knuckle pickups
  • Jescar frets & custom neck carves
  •  Finishes that go from stealth to stage-stopping

Alpher Instruments gives you the build quality of a luthier, the punch of a punk band, and the playability of a guitar you didn’t realize you’d been waiting for.

You don’t just buy one.
You bond with it — and you never look back.
