Description
We’re proud to introduce Furlan Guitars, a killer addition to the legacy of world-class instrument makers coming straight out of Chicagoland. Built by hand in LaGrange Park —just west of the city — these guitars embody everything we love about our homegrown scene: craftsmanship, character, and an obsessive attention to detail. Like us, Furlan calls the Chicago area home, and they’re carrying the torch for the region’s rich history of innovation and artistry. At FRET12, we’re all about supporting the builders who put their soul into every piece — and Furlan is building something truly special, right in our own backyard.

ABOUT THE MAKER
"Crafted for Tone, Built for Life"
"As a dedicated luthier and member of the Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans and the Guild of American Luthiers, I uphold the highest standards of craftsmanship. My guitars blend the time-honored traditions of the 1950s and 1960s with modern precision, ensuring exceptional tone, feel, and longevity.
Using traditional hand-building techniques alongside CNC technology for precise rough milling (±0.005 inches), I focus on the artistry of shaping, assembling, and finishing each instrument, paying close attention to the details that truly matter. The result is a premium guitar that looks stunning, plays effortlessly, and resonates with unmatched clarity - built to inspire and last." - John Furlan
