At first glance, a Teye guitar could easily be mistaken for one of the rare metal-faced guitars that made Tony Zemaitis a legendary luthier in the 1970s and a favorite of elite players from Keith Richards to Chris Robinson. But though the design homage is clear, the resemblance is mostly superficial. Thoughtfully designed in all aspects—from their proprietary hardware and electronics to handrubbed finishes—Teye guitars occupy a singular place in the world of boutique instruments.
