The Advantage of Independent Luthier

Independent luthiers provide advantages to today’s contemporary guitar buyer. Buyers can get instruments made to specific needs required for example their hand size, arm length, sound requirements. Lager manufactures are optimized for production and even with the development of newer technologies such as the CNC router standardized models are the goal. Soundboards by builders have attention to voicing. 

Independent luthiers have the flexibility to provide specific, scale lengths, fret size, nut width, bridge design, tailpiece design, finish for their clients. It’s a matter of customized as a feature. None of the custom features can come about without the direct line of communication with the  luthier. Dialog with the builder is an definite advantage missing from manufacturers. 


It is easy to order you instrument. a discussion takes place indicating the instrument desired. Hand building allows the client to visit the studio to while work progressing. Many times images are posted so others can see progress.

You are urged to support the independent luthier.
