Tone Ranger Guitars Double Barrel handmade USA w/hard case

Tone Ranger Guitars grew from luthier Jeff Mark Leavitt’s love of the West: the culture, the environment, the music, and the history of the western American deserts and forests. He set out to create an instrument that is not only a part of the West itself, but also allows himself and players of his guitars to be stewards of the land. Lovingly hand-crafted in his one-man shop in LA with the finest components and pickups, Tone Ranger Guitars are made entirely from sustainable, local, urban trees from Los Angeles and her surrounding counties, yielding tonewoods with a unique sonic brilliance all their own. 

These trees lined our city streets, shaded our parks, and grew in our backyards, but are felled due to storms, disease, or normal senescence. In the past, these trees would’ve been chipped on site and sent to landfills, but they are now rescued by arborists who choose to repurpose these beautiful trees and give them a second life. Using wood from our municipal forests helps reduce our carbon footprint as these trees aren’t factory-farmed, nor do they contribute to deforestation. This guilt-free wood grew in our local neighborhoods and communities, and is a beloved part of our history. You’re a part of that history now as this wood continues its life as your creative partner wherever the trail may take you. 

“Your double-cut above”

The crowd will reach for the sky when the Tone Ranger Guitars “Double Barrel” model hits the stage. Equipped with a Bigsby B5 to pour on that glassy shimmer, and 24 frets to give you a little extra when you need it, this double-cut gives other LP-Jrs an upper-cut. With its exquisite playability and striking looks, you’ll take the audience to school with my take on the classic student model. From punk to funk, the Double Barrel will ride shotgun with you anywhere your musical trail takes you.
