Dean Gordon

Dean started playing guitar at the age of fourteen and in short time began reading about building and repairing guitars. Within the first year of tinkering Dean made his first guitar and began to pursue in luthiery more aggressively. At sixteen years old Dean held apprenticeships with Victor Baker and Roger Sadowsky. These apprenticeships inspired him to take his new born skill to an entirely new level.​

At eighteen years old he designed and built the very first Dean Gordon Guitar and launched Dean Gordon Guitars on June 7th, 2012 and began pursuing a degree in graphic design. During this time he became the head repair tech at the legendary Chelsea Guitars and eventually selling his first guitar to Keith Urban. Each day at Chelsea brought him knowledge of vintage, new, and rare guitars allowing him to further hone his skill and meet people who share the same passion he had with guitars. Early Fenders and Gibsons to rarities like Gittlers and Sardonyx to the latest custom shop guitars from various names in the industry he has seen it all ​at Chelsea Guitars.

Deans goal for Dean Gordon Guitars is to produce a high quality, modern instrument with the same familiarity of playing the classics.
