About Beardly Customs

Handcrafted Instruments By Luthier Rick Link

Founded on December 28th, 2010, Beardly Customs, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is the brain child of luthier Rick Link. Rick had always wanted a custom bass and decided to give a shot at building one. That was enough to get rolling on a small business and the rest is history. Beardly Customs offers quality, handmade basses and guitars at affordable prices. Are you ready to grow your Beardly?
