Need a Great Guitar?

Ed Foley has been hand-crafting fine guitars since 1988. The list of world-class players that use and depend on their Foley guitars speaks for itself. Ed's customers become his friends. He is just a phone call away.

Ed Only Hand-Crafts less than 10 guitars a year.

This give him the luxury of choosing only the finest tone woods. Wonderfully dense Rosewood, shimmering three-dimensional Koa and Tiger Maple, fine-grained resonant spruce, etc.

A Foley Guitar is Truly Handmade

The bracing is hand-carved to complement each individual top. The hand-rubbed finish is supremely thin. Any less lacquer and it wouldn't be there. All components are selected to complement each other, to create a synergistic whole.

"A Foley Guitar Doesn't Just Ring - It Sings"

Strum a Foley. You'll immediately notice the amazing volume and clarity. The bass is huge, never boomy. This is due in part to Ed's special bracing pattern, based on the legendary pre-war Martins, but with several important modifications.

Ed's not afraid to buck tradition when improvements can be made. In addition to custom brace work, improvements include:

Graphite reinforced necks for long term stability, and improved sustain.

  • Contoured necks that fit your hand like a glove.
  • Frets work-tempered before installation for longer life.
  • Extra tall frets are now standard, for superb playability and tone. Of course old style (traditionally sized) frets are also available.
