C.R. Alsip LLC was founded in Jan. 2012. Our goal is to build the best guitars on this earth, we believe we will succeed since it is our passion to build high quality guitars at reasonable price points right here in "The Good Ol' USA!"

We get asked quite frequently where the name C.R. Alsip Guitars came from.

It is a simple answer,

C.R. Alsip was the owner (Jake Willoughby's) mother's maiden name. Connie Rae Alsip-Willoughby was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in Jan. 2011. She battled her cancer for a little over a year & on Feb. 28th 2012 she lost her battle. She was a caring & loving person that left a great impact on whoever she met. It is important for Jake to see that her name is carried on & known worldwide. Every guitar has heart, soul, blood, sweat & tears poured into them as they are built, that is what makes these guitars “Great Guitars".

We here at C.R. Alsip want our guitars to play great & ooze the sweetest tone mans ears have ever heard. Sustain is a key element to guitar players liking or disliking a guitar. We dove in & started working with ideas to increase sustain, but to not over increase it. Then our very own SES (Sustain Enhancement System ~ Patent Pending) was born! It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or a pro, you can hear the difference in our guitars & other brands.
