Briggs guitars arose as a result of Jack Briggs' 25+ years of lutherie experiences and 30+ years as a guitarist. His vision of the quintessential solid body guitar has resulted in the designs known as the Avatar and Saturn, as well as the occasional pieces that are built from vision and inspiration of the moment.
Briggs guitars are hand built in very limited quantities with the best tone woods available. Every Briggs guitar receives the same loving attention to detail in construction, finish and setup as the next. The amount of skilled handwork required to produce a Briggs guitar is staggering. Work of this quality is hardly found in any production instrument today at any price. Every step from wood selection to final setup is carried out with unwavering scrutiny to produce an instrument of unsurpassed quality, playability and tone.
