All Wayne guitars are shielded and concert-ready right out of the case. I personally wire, dress frets and assemble all Wayne guitars. It takes me from one to two days to complete this process. Most guitar manufacturers assemble 3-7 guitars a day, with many people working on one guitar. It's always better to have one person build your guitar!

Paint, graphics, clearcoat and final rubout are done by Michael Charvel. He has been painting for about 15 years. Our finishes are second to none. Options include nitrocellulose lacquer, polyester or polyurethane. We can also relic our guitars or your guitar!



Our guitar bodies are available in premium-grade alder, swamp ash or mahogany.






We shield the entire control cavity, the control plate and tremolo cavity for even less noise and a cleaner look. We use braided, shielded wire along with a high-quality potentiometer and the highest quality Switchcraft jack. These components are more reliable, and have less noise.
We use the original Floyd Rose bridge, available in chrome, black or gold. This is the most expensive bridge on the planet. We do not use the cheaper, licensed by Floyd bridge. Hardtail string through the body, or vintage non-locking tremolo bridges are also available in brass, gold, chrome or black.
We use USA made Seymour Duncan pickups as standard equipment. We can also install Dimarzio or EMG pickups. We route the pickup cavity in the sweet spot of all our guitars. This really makes them sing!

All newer Wayne guitars come with a top-adjust truss rod. This eliminates removing strings and neck from the body. This also eliminates chipped-out neck pockets. All of our necks have a straight, string pull headstock. The strings will not bind up on non-locking nuts, therefore, the guitar stays in tune better.
As an option, we offer original brass strap buttons designed by Wayne Charvel in the mid 70s.
We offer high-quality AAA flame maple or birdseye maple necks. The back of our necks have a hand-rubbed oil finish. All of our necks have 22 jumbo frets and are a 25-1/2" scale length, with a 1-11/16" nut width. We offer maple, rosewood or ebony fingerboards. Tuner keys are Gotoh and we offer Sperzel locking tuners as an option.
We painstakingly round off the edges of the fingerboard, dress and polish the frets. This gives our guitars that worn in feel right out of the case. Most big guitar manufacturers also claim they round off the fret board, but they just put a slight angle on the edge of the board because they can do it faster, but it just doesn't have the feel of doing it by hand!
As a body option, we offer a contoured heel for better access to the higher frets.
All Wayne guitars include a USA made hard-shell G and G wood case. They are identical to the cases Wayne used in the 70s and early 80s.














Wayne Guitars proudly introduces the Curt Mitchell Signature Model guitar. This guitar comes with a natural satin finish, alder body with a rosewood fretboard. It has a recessed Floyd Rose tremolo and a set of direct-mount Seymour Duncan pickups. Each one will be assembled, setup, and tested by Wayne Charvel. The Curt Mitchell model comes with a USA hard shell wood case, and is only available direct from Wayne Guitars.
