Smaller Lighter Balanced

Short Scale SPECIALISTS
Since 2004 - It’s what we do!
Texas Made, World Played.
It began with a professional bassist’s quest for a smaller bass guitar that sounded great, balanced better than the old ‘60s designs, and was hand crafted to high standards.
Better by Design.

BENCH
CRAFTED
In a world where less and less is actually how it appears, Birdsong instruments are still hand crafted in a small workshop in the Texas “Hill Country”, on real work benches with wood shavings and sweat, by experienced hands attached to real people who care. It has been this way for over 20 years.
That logo means something to us, and it’s burned into every headstock. Crafting these is our passion and service, and we’d love to make one for you.
