Custom Guitar Makers on the Web

[vovin]

I love to see what the real artists have done with guitars. There is really some amazing luthiers out there. So I thought I would start a thread where we can link some of the best custom guitars and guitar makers. I'll edit the list as more people add their links.

Thought you guys might want to check out my site. I've been working on it for a while and should be updating it constantly. I will build anything to spec, but the instruments I build from my own inspiration are also available for sale and a bit unique. Thanks for the look.

No, my guitar didn't look as cool as these ones for sale do.

I'm speechless

I'm speechless

Ha yeah, they're incredible. While I was out there, George showed us all a video that him and his wife had shot on one of their trips to Bali, where the guitars are built, and the only electrically powered tool that I saw the Balinese workers using was a band saw.
