John Birch Guitars®
The Heritage® range revives the most influential guitars ever to emerge from the John Birch workshop. Reborn with modern precision, craftsmanship, and the unmistakable character that shaped the sound of British Rock, Metal, and Heavy Metal, these instruments are not reissues—they are the continuation of a legacy. We are proud to introduce our iconic flagship model,
The Standard, along with the J1®
All models feature the sleek, uninterrupted aesthetic of a through-neck without any acoustic drawbacks.
Carved from premium maple, this modern contour offers a seamless, flowing transition from body to neck without a conventional heel. By refining the joint geometry and resonance points, we retain the smooth look and effortless upper- fret access players love—but with none of the standing-wave issues of traditional through-neck designs.
The body and neck function as a harmonically balanced system, improving resonance, stability, and long-term performance. It’s a design that feels natural in the hand, responsive under the fingers, and true to the spirit of innovation that has defined John Birch guitars from the very beginning.
