The 2026 Guitar Sale Is Here
The wait is over! The 2026 Ron Kirn Guitar Sale is officially underway, with 17 handcrafted guitars ready to ship immediately. Every guitar is built one at a time with the attention to detail, playability, and craftsmanship Ron Kirn is known for. No production line. No shortcuts. Just exceptional instruments built to be played for a lifetime.
Only 17 are available, and when they're gone, they're gone. Take a look through this year's collection and see which one speaks to you.
May 19, 2024
Three new Pro Line guitars have been added to the shop, along with Nine new Barnbusters. These one of a kind guitars are ready to ship and will not last long. Treat yourself or that special someone with one of these beauties.
Oct 2023
Introducing The Pro Line, intended for the professional that has time for making music and little for nursing an instrument. This is not intended for the “Wine Taster”. Every aspect has been considered to produce a flawless guitar that can endure the “slings and arrows” that being part of a professional’s “kit” can introduce.
Also, Barnbusters are back in stock!
For more info and to see all currently available guitars, head to the shop.
