A GUITAR AS INSPIRING AS IT LOOKS
Pro Set Neck
The ProSet Neck is set into the body for better tone and playability. We shape the body and neck heel to remove excess bulk, giving you effortless access to the highest frets. This means smoother lead playing without a bulky heel getting in the way.
Beyond comfort, the ProSet Neck enhances resonance and sustain, creating a more dynamic and responsive instrument.
Pocketed Frets
We take fretwork to the next level with our pocketed frets—a meticulous process that enhances both the look and feel of every guitar we build.
Unlike traditional fret slots that run through the entire fretboard, we cut each slot to the exact depth and size, stopping precisely before the fret ends. This allows us to trim back the fret tangs, eliminating exposed edges and creating a seamless, clean aesthetic. The result? A smoother, more comfortable feel, with no rough ends to catch your hand as you play.
Pocketed frets aren’t just about looks—they’re about precision, durability, and craftsmanship. It’s one more way we ensure that every Veritas guitar plays as flawlessly as it sounds.
Hand-Rubbed Finish
At Veritas Custom Guitars, we believe a finish should feel as good as it looks. Our hand-rubbed finish delivers a buttery-smooth, non-sticky feel, giving your guitar a natural, broken-in touch right out of the box.
Unlike thick, plasticky finishes that can get sticky or slow you down, our hand-rubbed approach enhances the wood’s natural resonance while providing a comfortable, effortless playing experience. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to maintain—if it ever gets worn or scratched, just lightly sand and reapply, and your guitar is as good as new.
Built to be played. Designed to last.
Authentic Aging, Timeless Vibe
At Veritas Custom Guitars, we don’t just build guitars—we give them soul. Our aging process is designed to capture the feel, look, and character of a well-loved instrument that has seen years of play.
Using nitrocellulose lacquer, we carefully age each guitar to create natural checking, where the finish develops fine cracks just like vintage guitars that have aged over decades. We go beyond just surface wear—our process includes subtle wear-throughs, hand-worn edges, and just the right amount of patina to make each guitar look and feel like an old friend the moment you pick it up.
Whether you want light aging for a broken-in feel or a fully road worn warrior, our aging techniques bring history and personality to your instrument—without sacrificing playability or tone. Each aged Veritas guitar tells a story. Now it’s ready to tell yours.
