Apex-S
A refined take on the most timeless double-cutaway silhouette in guitar history. Classic contours, and an inline headstock deliver familiar feel with handcrafted exotic tonewood construction.
BTMN
Bold, angular solidbody channeling late-70’s Japanese design — a shape that broke every convention before it. Sharp asymmetric lines command attention on stage while ergonomic contours keep it comfortable for hours.
Cooper
Classic offset solidbody born from the surf and jazz era, reimagined with exotic hardwood tops. The asymmetric waist and flowing curves deliver natural balance and effortless playability.
Challenger
T.W. Smith’s take on one of rock’s most iconic angular shapes — a bold, symmetric design with sharp outswept wings. A wide, solid body deliver massive sustain and instant stage presence.
Challenger Jr.
The Challenger’s bolder sibling — a pointed, offset angular design with a more extreme treble-side cutaway for unrestricted high-fret access. One of the sharpest silhouettes in the T.W. Smith lineup.
Gordon
An original T.W. Smith design engineered for perfect balance and playability. The extended upper horn eliminates neck dive, and the wide lower cutaway provides effortless access to the highest frets — a player’s guitar through and through.

Smooth, contoured lines with balanced weight distribution and effortless upper-fret access — paired with exotic tonewoods and premium hardware that take the timeless offset shape into boutique territory.
