Custom Made Electric Guitars
About us
Custom made electric guitars forged by metal guitarist & luthier Wayne Hay
Forged from a life time passion playing guitar, luthier Wayne Hay developed the Haywire brand. A range of electric guitars designed for metal guitarists.
I am a precision craftsman and master luthier with deep practical experience in CNC machining, modern guitar construction, and boutique finishing. My work combines engineering judgement with hands-on craftsmanship.
I’m also a guitarist with over 30 years of playing experience, rooted in heavy metal and hard rock, with strong influences from the metal guitars of the 1990s onwards. I understand the needs of professional guitarists because I am one.
At Haywire Guitars, I build instruments that function as an extension of the player’s body and mind - guitars designed for technically excellent musicians, studio professionals, and touring artists. High-end custom builds are co-created with the customer, while always protecting the standards of quality, playability, and the integrity of the Haywire brand.
"What a result. the neck is perfect and it plays like a dream - a superb purchase
