The Phoenix
Available Now

Redefining the Guitar

The Phoenix is an electric guitar that's designed to do more. Each module is a complete tone circuit; the pickups, wiring, capacitors, and controls all work together to shape your sound. Crafted from Virginia cherry and equipped with USA-made Seymour Duncans and CTS pots, it’s ready for any job—on stage, in the studio, or at home. The possibilities don’t stop there. If your idea fits the module and makes sense, it’ll likely work.

Modular Advantage

Endless Possibilities

Each module build begins life as a blank template, ready to be configured for almost anything that fits in the slot—whether it’s classic tones or something completely off-the-wall. Our modules replicate the full character of many different guitars, containing all the sound components needed for any given configuration.

The sound of a guitar isn’t just about the pickups—it’s the entire circuit: the wiring, the controls, the capacitors—all working together to create something greater than the sum of its parts. Our stock modules capture this complexity, offering endless opportunities to shape your sound.

Luthiery + Production

Built for today, ready for tomorrow

At Fern Guitars, every Phoenix is built in our small shop with precision and attention to detail. Made to order means your guitar is crafted just for you—it’s never sitting in a warehouse. The Phoenix is ready to play as-is, and its modular design leaves the door open for future customization—whether it’s a new module or something uniquely yours. Start with what works now, and let it grow with you over time.

Fully Customizable

Adaptable by Design

Our modular design and made-to-order process puts you in control. Every Phoenix guitar is built from scratch, giving you the freedom to request modifications to both the modules and the guitar itself. Stainless steel frets instead of stock? Upgraded tuners? A different bridge? We’ve got you covered. While some changes might affect the price or lead time, some won’t—our goal is to bring your vision to life and make the process as smooth and flexible as possible.

About the Phoenix

The Phoenix is the best of both worlds: the familiar feel and performance of a traditional guitar, paired with the unique ability to swap pickups and controls in seconds—no tools, no string changes required. Whether you stick with its stock setup or explore modular options, the Phoenix delivers a playing experience that outshines most guitars in its class.

The body is crafted from ash trees native to Virginia, and the modules are made from rich cherry wood, processed locally before assembly at our shop in Portland. With every component meticiously selected, the Phoenix delivers exceptional quality and performance in every detail.

Made-to-Order

The Phoenix is made-to-order, meaning we build your guitar from the ground up. This allows us to deliver a high-quality instrument that’s ready to play right out of the box. The stock model will meet the needs of most players, but we’re happy to discuss small adjustments to make it feel just right for you. Our process takes about 90 days from order to delivery and ensures your guitar is made thoughtfully and to the highest standards.
