Young Guitars

My name’s Joshua Young, I’m 23, and I’m the sole proprietor of Young Guitars. I’ve been building guitars full-time, six days a week, since January of 2023. I build them out of Rock Island, TN. I learned most of what I know from John Arnold, Wayne Henderson, Bob Altman, and my buddy Nathaniel Wright, plus WAY too much time reading up on pre-war Martins and guitar construction on the UMGF. I’ve owned lots of high-end guitars and had a bunch built for me, so I got to see the ins and outs of guitar building firsthand, along with the usual mistakes people make starting out. That helped me skip a big chunk of the learning curve. I’ve also had awesome support from guitar collector and player friends who took a risk on me early on, helping me get established and improve my craft. Shawn Brock gave me my first big break by ordering the first guitar I sold, #3, and his demos got my waitlist going strong early on, which hasnt let up yet!
