Thoughtfully crafted for musicians of every kind
In a small workshop located in the heart of the Hudson Valley, a local maker and musician builds each guitar by hand. No factory lines — just time, care, and a deep connection to music and making. Every instrument is built to be played, not just displayed.
Bill is a Hudson Valley-based builder and lifelong musician behind Soul Mountain Designs.
Music has been a constant in his life for as long as he can remember—writing, playing, and performing in an active rock band with several recorded albums.
While his background includes years of artisan furniture making, it was his connection to music that eventually pulled him in a new direction. In recent years, that path led naturally into building guitars—bringing together craftsmanship and sound in a more personal way than ever before.
Each instrument is built by hand in his dedicated barn workshop, where he works alone and focuses entirely on the details that matter: feel, tone, and character. No production line, no shortcuts—just time, care, and experience shaping every piece.
Today, Bill builds for musicians, collectors, and anyone who values instruments made with intention. For him, it’s not about scale—it’s about creating guitars that feel good to play and bring real joy to the people who pick them up.
