About

Thanks for stopping by Wilderness Guitars. My name is Al Nelson. I started building guitars 10 years ago. I begin with solid body electric guitars.  By 2008 I found other folks building guitars out of cigar boxes. I was hooked on the whole idea of building an instrument out of a pre made box. Especially since so many of them are so beautiful.

My quest now is to build as beautiful and playable an instrument as is possible. It is by God’s Grace and Mercy through Jesus Christ that I am able to do this. I hope you check back often for updates and news about Wilderness Guitars. Please let me know if I can assist you in anyway or if you have any questions about the instruments. From time to time we show up at craft shows. I will post on the blog when we are scheduled at one of the shows and hope to see you there.

Wilderness Guitars is based in Omaha, Nebraska, USA!
