David Thomas McNaught Guitars

I’ve been playing since the early 1990s, ²⁄₃ of my life now. I’ve owned probably 75 guitars, ranging from the entry level $ 300 Epiphones, to $ 5 – 6000 Custom Shop Gibsons. I’ve had PRS, Fender, ESP, Washburn, Martin, Ovation, Schecter, and more… I purchased my 1^st McNaught guitar about 2 years ago now, used, having never seen one except in photos, much less played one. The fit, finish, and build quality is like nothing I’ve ever seen prior. The tuning stability is superior, and though I live in the midwest, known for the bi-​polar weather, this has yet to need a single setup or adjustment. The only thing I have done is put strings on it, aside from playing the hell out of it. That particular guitar is 14 years old now, and still looks new. Now to the sound… being a guy who always favored that Les Paul snarl, this things not only does that, but roars, as well as purring with just a twist of the volume knob. I obtained my 2^nd Mcnaught a couple weeks ago and I can say the quality hasn’t diminished, nor the tones and playability, prompting me to get the custom build ordered tonight.
Yes, I know Daves work is pricey… and it may not that famous name, but if you are buying that once in a lifetime axe, chuck the Historic Les Pauls on the kindling pile, as anymore, you’re only paying for the name and an ever increasing price tag with less quality than ever before. This guy can make your instrument dreams come true in a comparable or often lower tag compared to the recent Gibson hikes. I’ve been very impressed, and the process of getting the build going has been easy too. I went through Tom Jensen on his dealers page and it took about 2 weeks with a lot of back and forth to get everything squared away, but it’s been a great experience!
Let me also state, I have ZERO affiliation with McNaught guitars, I’ve just learned that the price tag isn’t always synonymous with quality and I lucked into discovering these smoking instruments. Do yourself a favor and check it out!
