Faux binding is a technique that creates the look of traditional wood binding without adding separate binding material. We achieve this by carefully taping off and scraping the edges of the top of the guitar, exposing the natural wood beneath the finish. This gives the illusion of real binding while maintaining a seamless feel.

While faux binding adds a clean, high-end look, it’s not recommended for all wood types. Some woods don’t always work well with the finish.

We take fretwork to the next level with our pocketed frets—a meticulous process that enhances both the look and feel of every guitar we build.

Unlike traditional fret slots that run through the entire fretboard, we cut each slot to the exact depth and size, stopping precisely before the fret ends. This allows us to trim back the fret tangs, eliminating exposed edges and creating a seamless, clean aesthetic. The result? A smoother, more comfortable feel, with no rough ends to catch your hand as you play.

Pocketed frets aren’t just about looks—they’re about precision, durability, and craftsmanship. It’s one more way we ensure that every Veritas guitar plays as flawlessly as it sounds.

Our carved tops are carved both inside and out, to ensure the wood vibrates freely, delivering a rich, open tone with incredible depth and sustain.

Unlike mass-produced alternatives that rely on plywood laminates, we use solid, tone-rich woods that let every note ring out naturally—no dead spots, no choked frequencies, just pure, organic sound. The result is a guitar that feels alive in your hands, responding dynamically to every nuance of your playing.

Built for tone. Designed to inspire. This is what a carved top should be.
