Find your perfect guitar - Explore the Shop
In our selection of the best contemporary guitar makers, we have chosen to represent those that we believe create instruments that are built to last – both in terms of musical quality and investment. As a result, many of the young luthiers we highlight as the best of their generation proceed to become the world’s most sought-after builders.
Every guitar tells a story
We've created a world-class archive of instruments,
their stories and provenance.
Because it's true - every guitar does tell a story.
Stories, culture, friends and community
We believe in building a relationship and supporting everyone within our community - from our close relationships with both the makers and players of these instruments, and serving professionals, students, collectors and aficionados alike. We have a deep and profound respect for the art, and love fostering our community.
