Premium American Craftsmanship & Components
High precision manufacturing and meticulous craftsmanship provide the minute detail and exacting tolerances which enable us to produce the many unusual and innovative features we've developed in creating the U.S. Masters products. U.S. Masters guitars and basses are completely made in Middleton, Wisconsin, USA. We use premium components throughout our product lines, selected to provide the best possible service and/or performance. We use select woods chosen first for performance and sound quality, then for beauty; woods such as mahogany, pau ferro (Bolivian rosewood), hard maple, birdseye maple, curly, flame, quilted and spalted maples, ebony, swamp ash, alder, redwood, walnut and others.


Patented Designs
U.S. Masters electric guitars and basses incorporate unique, practical and functional designs and innovations such as our hand-fitted Compression-Set Captive Neck Joint and our Ever-Tru necks with their Extended Uniform Neck Profile and Contoured Flex Truss Rod, developments that specifically enhance sound quality, resonance, tuning, durability and playability as compared with conventional designs.

The Sounds
Each U.S. Masters model suits a different kind of player. While the materials and structure of our instruments shape critical foundational characteristics such as timbre, articulation and sustain, pickups are a key element in bringing forth the feel, tone and personality of each model. Most of the pickups we use are U.S. Masters pickups, custom designed and manufactured to our specifications to achieve a sound quality and sound ideal that allows the "big" and "alive" acoustic qualities of our guitars and basses to shine. And the integrated design of our switching and tone control circuitry further enhances sound quality as well as versatility. Listen to the clarity, detail and range of expression, even the voicing and usefulness of the tone control. Our instruments are designed for the serious player who stakes his or her reputation on his sound.

Details Make a Difference
If it's part of our instrument, it's been considered thoroughly, like the stainless steel and carbon fiber control plates used to mount the lever switch in our guitars with rear-mounted electronics. It may be a small detail, but it provides a good ground plane with no screws through the top of the guitar to hold the switch. It looks very clean with no potential for corrosion or damage to the finish or the electronic components. We use threaded inserts and machine screws for the tremolo claw. It makes for much easier adjustment and eliminates the problems with tear out and cam out so common with the wood screws normally used for the trem claw. Pickups that are direct-mounted use threaded inserts for the height screws to eliminate tear out and make adjustment easier. Look at the shaping of the frets, detailing of contours, precision fitting of parts and components. These are just a small example of the multitude of factors we consider constantly. Individually that may not seem like much, but put together it sets our instruments apart for their quality, their sound and the way they play.
