Welcome to Bear Creek Guitars

We make custom Ukuleles and Hawaiian acoustic steel guitars, styled after the guitars by Herman Weissenborn in the 1920's. These guitars are played with a steel bar, often feature a "hollowneck", and are tuned to an open chord, similar to slack key tuning. Click on "guitars and ukuleles" in the menu bar for more info.

Weissenborn style Hawaiian steel guitars

Our guitars are played and endorsed by Bob Brozman, world renown traditional Hawaiian steel player. "The Bear Creek is beautifully crafted and captures the mysterious sound of the original Weissenborn, but with greater volume, depth, and clarity." Click on Bob Brozman for more info.

BJ and Bill Hardin - Bear Creek Guitars Our 2 person company consists of Bill Hardin, a master luthier with over 25 years experience in guitarmaking and his wife, BJ, who handles the sales and marketing. We believe that our instruments are the finest of their kind, and each one is truly a work of art. They are hand crafted-one at a time-in our new location- the Central Coast of California.

Our customers come to us from all over the world, and from all music genres-including blues, rock, bluegrass, as well as Hawaiian music. Our goal is to build each of them the guitar of their dreams. How about you?
