THE THUMBS OF A PROFESSIONAL

Thumbgroove Guitars recently crossed paths with Marty Swartz of Marty Music in Nashville. Marty got his hands on one of our phantom profile models with a relic jacket.

“Thumb Groove doesn’t strive to build the perfect guitar for everyone. We strive to build the perfect guitar for the musician playing it. We tailor the guitar to match the specific personal specifications of the musician it’s being built for. It’s common sense really. Why buy something off the rack or a wall that was made months earlier in a factory more concerned about output than the player the guitar is going to?”
