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.
Redefining the Guitar
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.
