A new year of creativity awaits both us and our incredible patrons. With the culmination of seven new models nearing the finish line, it’s impossible to predict which will launch first, but my bet is on the Parlor Queen.

Two years ago, we initiated pre-orders for 10 big Jake Archtop guitars, and since then over three hundred Craven Tenor Guitars have shipped worldwide. Our online family has grown from 12 to 70 this year. These numbers might seem modest, but the community of owners is truly exceptional. I am confident that we will welcome many more new faces to our Owner-only group this year.

While our site may currently appear to have no guitars for sale, you have the opportunity to read and envision what’s coming. As we progress towards the finish line, pictures will be added to each of the new seven. Once they pass the final inspection, each of them will move into pre-order, and that’s when you’ll have access to full pictures, videos, and the chance to make a purchase.

2023 was an incredible year for Craven Tenor Guitars. The incredible customer support and our connections with Ms. Shari Ulrich and Ms. Mallory Chipman have propelled our product line forward. The expansion you see this year began as CAD drawings in some cases 24 months ago, and now it’s all coming together.

Since day one, our goal has always been to create heirloom-quality guitars. We make guitars from premium hand-selected woods and proper tenor guitar components, and we always handcraft them in limited quantities to ensure quality, integrity of product, and ethical business practices. We do not aspire to be the biggest, sell the most, or answer to corporate agendas. Our focus is on being known as a personable company that always prioritizes quality for our consumers, continuously improving our products and ourselves.

Welcome to Craven Tenor Guitar 2024.
