Built by hand in Costa Mesa, California, this Lelah Customs Model 37S represents the perfect blend of tone, feel, and vintage character. The swamp ash body finished in Sherwood Green nitrocellulose with a medium relic treatment gives it the right mix of age and elegance. It feels broken-in and ready for the stage from the moment you pick it up.

What started as a hobby quickly became a lifelong pursuit of tone and craftsmanship. After moving from Yosemite Valley to Southern California over twenty years ago, Brandon began learning the craft through books, mentorships, and countless hours of trial and error. Today, every Lelah Custom is built by hand with patience, intention, and care in his Costa Mesa shop. He has built guitars for artists such as Jedd Hughes, Adam Granduciel of The War On Drugs, Guthrie Trapp, and Ariel Posen, and has also built a guitar for pickup legend Ron Ellis, with whom he continues to collaborate closely. Ellis’s pickups are a natural fit in Brandon’s instruments, and this 37S proudly features a set of his 64S Strat pickups.

The medium C neck shape and rosewood fingerboard make it effortless to play, offering a dry, smooth feel and balanced response. The Ron Ellis 64S Strat pickups bring a shimmering top end, clear midrange, and sweet low-end push that make these guitars so addictive. The Lava pickguard, inspired by classic tortoise celluloid, adds just the right touch of vintage flavor.

Every aspect of this guitar shows the care and intent behind Brandon’s work. Gotoh hardware, detailed fretwork, and hand-wired electronics all contribute to the instrument’s precision and musicality. Built one at a time, each Lelah Custom feels timeless from day one.
