On Harvest Handcrafted Guitars


I am a guitar player. I want you to experience the same feeling that I had when I first played our guitars. I heard the tone, punch and loudness and said “Wow”.


The only way that I know for you to do that is to personally try the guitar. I am so confident that you, too, will say “Wow” that I am willing to extend my personal guarantee. Try the guitar, risk-free, for 7 days. If you don’t like it, send it back and we will refund your money.


We want to find the instrument that will ignite the passion within you to enable you to make the music that you know you can. That is my mission.

Harvest Handcrafted Guitars – Designed for Tone


I am a Luthier as well as a guitar player. Like you, I have a passion for tone. When I designed these instruments, I had a particular sound in mind for each of them.


The guiding principles for the classical and steel string acoustic guitars were projection and string-to-string balance. The guitars should be loud enough to be heard and the tone they produce should be balanced across all of the strings.


The Jazz guitars required an acoustic / electric balance in addition to string-to-string balance. They produce a tone that simply must be heard. These guitars are the real deal.

Brian Close


Sound and public address systems designer.


I started designing sound systems for bands then moved to special events, churches, businesses, and schools. The goal is for every word and every note to be clear, full and audible to every audience member.


In the 12 plus years I have been with Elite I have done over 300 installations and systems. Our systems can be just what you need and want, audio, video and network.
