Dunable Guitars — Custom Shop Power Built for Heavy, Doom, and Progressive Rock

If you are searching for a guitar or bass engineered without compromise for low tunings, massive riff authority, and a dark, elegant aesthetic, one name stands above the rest: Dunable Guitars. Founded by Sacha Dunable (guitarist of the progressive metal outfit Intronaut) in Los Angeles, California, this boutique brand rapidly achieved cult status within the stoner, doom, post-rock, and metal communities. Dunable instruments masterfully blend the organic mojo of classic 1970s vintage guitars with the high-performance modern specifications required by today’s touring musicians. Crushing tone, exceptional premium woods, and custom-wound pickups make every Dunable a true riff machine.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions about Dunable Guitars

What makes Dunable guitars superior for drop-tunings and lower pitches?
Dunable specifically selects dense tonewoods (such as swamp ash, mahogany, or black limba) and voices their electronics to prevent low frequencies from becoming muddy or loose. Their rigid construction ensures strings maintain crisp note definition and ideal tension even in Drop-C or baritone ranges.

What is the main difference between the USA Series and the DE Series?
USA models are built entirely by hand at the custom shop workshop in Los Angeles, allowing for premium wood customization and in-house hand-wound pickups. The DE (Dunable Express) series is manufactured in Asia under strict quality metrics, loaded with genuine Dunable-designed pickups and top-tier hardware for unmatched value.

Are Dunable instruments exclusively suited for metal and heavy rock genres?
No, not at all. While deeply rooted in the heavy music scene, these pickups are exceptionally dynamic, cleaning up beautifully via the volume control or a softer picking attack. Their clean voice is wonderfully woody, warm, and rich in character, making them a favorite for indie, blues, and post-rock players alike.
