Kochel Guitars are handmade in Montana By Sean Kochel. Using reclaimed wood for the necks and bodies, and a lot of the parts are fabricated from reclaimed materials, these have a really cool rustic look and feel. They sound great acoustically and plugged in!!! With a really great sounding Rio Grande mini humbucker in the neck position and a piezo under the bridge, there are tons of really cool sounds to be found in this instrument!!!
