Description: 

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 ticket to blue ribbon tone”

From state fairs or bedroom affairs, you’ll find yourself winning first prize with the Tone Ranger Guitars “Rodeo Queen” model. Holding a special place in my heart, an “S-style” guitar was my first guitar, so I carefully selected my favorite aspects of the design and put my own spin on what I consider the queen of guitars. With a 24.75” scale, set-neck, 7 pickup configurations, and a Mastery bridge and tremolo, you’ve never seen an S-style like this. She brings the funk… She brings the shred… She brings the twang… The Rodeo Queen brings out the best in your playing with tone fit for a queen.
