  • Nick Pourfard started Prisma Guitars based on his love for skateboarding and music. He is a 22 year old self-taught woodworker and industrial design student based out of San Francisco, CA. All guitars are built using the wood from broken and used skateboards.
    Prisma Guitars are all 100% handmade and the colors are completely one-of-a-kind for every build.

    There sure are a lot of people who don't make shit always telling someone who does how much he should get paid for it. The guitars are rad. Nice work.

    LOVE it! I am going to use this video with my 8th grade students to inspire them to connect what they love with what I teach and see the potential for their future. Nice job Nick... totally inspirational.

    Oh my god these are beautiful! I am 37. I grew up skateboarding, starting in the 80s, and while I don't skate so much these days, it is still an integral part of me. For me, skateboarding is a very spiritual experience and as such, using the wood from the combined experiences of so many people in that state of being to make an instrument of creation completely blows my mind into space. Couple that with my new passion of building guitars. What an inspiration! Thank you! Big hug from me over here.

    This is the most awesome thing about guitars - even though you believe that you have seen everything, there is still someone, who will think about something new and create extraordinary, immensely wonderfull and still great sounding instrument. I know envy is a bad thing, yet I'm envious of all the people who will at least be able to play one of these guitars for a while, let alone own their very own. Keep up man! This is such a beautiful work. And who knows, maybe one day, I'll save enough money to get myself one unique Prisma guitar :).

    I don't know if you make basses too, but a collaboration with Jeff Ament’s Army sounds perfect. I have had good fortune to skate with him a few times and his passion for skating is second to none. I think his charitable organization is run through the Montana Skatepark Association.

    Your work is bizarre beautiful , very spontaneous and pure . You Contribute much at the forefront , and the break in the boring world and simple guitars , based on " Gibson or Fender ". It's really a shame i cannot buy from you a guitar of yours, i live in Brasil and here the price is really high, and basically, all the bodies are in basswood. KEEP CREATING MAN.

THE TOPS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE PURPOSELY DYED OR STAINED THAT WAY. REALLY COOL. I ALSO LIKE THAT EVERY ONE YOU BUILD IS A DIFFERENT STYLE. GOOD STUFF MAN KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
