“— guitars that make you feel bulletproof, like when your hair looks great and you’re ready to play.”

From the hand-built Custom Series to the Korean-made Conspiracy Series, Sully guitars carry the same DNA: attitude, playability, and performance. They’re unapologetically modern instruments rooted in the energy of rock culture — built for those who don’t want to blend in.
As Sully says, “I’m not reinventing wheels. I just like things that are fun — guitars that make you feel bulletproof, like when your hair looks great and you’re ready to play.”
Whether you’re shredding in a stadium or riffing in your living room, Sully Guitars are made to give you that spark — the one that makes you grab a guitar and go.

Sully’s career began with curiosity and a kitchen nail — literally — fixing his sister’s abandoned guitar as a kid. Years later, that same curiosity led him from tinkering on parts builds to launching Sully Guitars in 2001 and going full-time in 2014. His collaboration with Grover Jackson, his creation of the Sully’s Guitar Garage YouTube series, and his mix of humor and precision have earned him a loyal global following.
His instruments travel the world — from Paris to Chile — but home is wherever he and Mrs. Sully happen to be. When he’s not building guitars, you’ll find him at an art exhibit, quoting Clue, or hosting a murder-mystery anniversary dinner (complete with costume changes).
Underneath the jokes and rock-and-roll swagger is a maker who believes guitars should invite you in, not intimidate you. Sully builds for the players who know that music — like life — works best when you don’t take yourself too seriously.

Contrarian Guitars With 80s Roots
Jon “Sully” Sullivan of Sully Guitars talks innovation, defying influence, and why some guitars are built out of spite—a raw and honest conversation about carving your own path in the guitar world.
"Sometimes you build a guitar out of passion—other times, out of pure spite. Both are valid." – Jon "Sully" Sullivan
