Notice!
U
nfortunately, I am not taking any new orders for Pumaboards at this time. I am having some surgery done on my arm, and it would be difficult to build boards with one arm! I plan to be back in business around September 1st, so check back then. For now, you can browse the site and thoroughly consider all your options for a board!
I apologize for the inconvenience.

What on earth is a Pumaboard?
Pumaboards are custom guitar pedalboards designed and built by me, Pumaman. They come in two styles: the Classic and the Low Rider. The Classic is wedge-shaped, with plenty of room underneath for a power supply; the Low Rider is flat, for those who don't need to mount anything underneath their board. Both types of boards are built out of high-quality wood and are covered in Tolex. Pumaboards boast many well thought-out features. They are extremely customizable, from the size to the Tolex colors, and offer quite a few extra frills such as corners and an assortment of sockets and jacks.
The big idea
Some of us gearheads take a lot of pride in our gear — in particular, our pedals. Our pedals come in all these bright, fancy colors. Shouldn't they be showcased with something more respectable than a black piece of wood or metal? Boring pedalboards made me think. What if pedalboards could be customized the way amps and guitars can be? Wouldn't it be fun if we could hot-rod our pedalboards like we hot-rod our cars?
I decided to try designing a pedalboard myself. I wanted a reasonably simple design that could offer as many customization options as possible. After several months of trial and error, I found a design that I was proud to put my name on: the Pumaboard Classic. A while after that, I was inspired to create a flat pedalboard to accomodate customers who prefer flat boards, and the Low Rider was born. I really enjoy building these boards — and I want my customers to be as much a part of that fun as possible. I make sure to involve them in the entire process.
