My name is Jesse Beausoleil, and Soleil Custom Guitars exists because I’ve never been satisfied with instruments that almost get it right.

I came up playing heavy music that demands precision, control, and reliability—music where the guitar isn’t just expressive, it’s unforgiving. Over time, it became clear that many instruments were built to look the part, but not to withstand the realities of aggressive playing, low tunings, long sessions, and life on stage. If I wanted a guitar that truly kept up, I needed to engineer it myself.

Soleil didn’t start as a business plan. It started as a problem to solve.

Every Soleil guitar is designed, engineered, and built by me with a focus on accuracy, consistency, and real-world performance. Designs are validated in CAD, components are machined to tight tolerances, and each build is inspected and measured throughout the process. If something doesn’t meet the standard, it doesn’t move forward.

While precision tools ensure repeatability, the final result is shaped by hands-on work, critical listening, and refinement. The goal is not perfection on paper, but an instrument that feels resolved, predictable, and ready to perform the moment it’s picked up.

I don’t build guitars as commodities. I build them as tools—tools meant to be played hard, relied on, and trusted. Every design choice exists to support the player, eliminate distractions, and deliver consistency night after night.

Soleil Custom Guitars are built with pride in the great state of Texas, and every instrument that leaves the shop carries that responsibility with it.
