How it started

In 2019, Chris & Kim Pelonis opened Lost Chord Guitars in downtown Solvang. Part music venue, part art and photography gallery, and one part boutique guitar shop.

It was our vision to create a space where people can experience the magic that happens when music is the conduit. We sell our own wine, as well as beer from M. Special Brewing.

Chris is very involved in the design of  many of the guitars available for purchase, putting heart into every step—from choosing and matching woods, specifying shapes, fingerboards, etc.

He designed Lost Chord as a multi-media studio capable of multi-track recording and multi camera video shoots with a stage, seating, and a ton of vibe. The pristine acoustics and aesthetics at Lost Chord Guitars provide an environment like no other where everyone in the room becomes part of the band somehow!
