By admin on September 23, 2011

tan has been building since 2005. His journey from straight job to Luthier is probably like many career switchers. Stan has been a self-confessed tinkerer with electronics, amps, and speakers since the age of twelve. He was faced with a “Confluence of events” that led him to reconsider what he would like to do.

moonstone korina tremolo M-80

Moonstone Guitars- Member “Extracrispy” Posted an ’82 Eclispse- Did a little research- Cool story. Thought I would share it with Axvault

Travis Bean Luthier/ Guitar Builder. Extruded Aluminum Necks- died age 63

By admin on July 15, 2011

Guitar Maker Keith Holland- Luthier

By admin on June 7, 2011

I wanted to open the best repair shop in Nor Cal, so I needed to get to that place. Along the way, I learned the weak components of certain electric guitars and decided to build my version as an attempt to improve the ordering, buying and playing experience for the custom-guitar owner.

Jay Lichtly Luthier- good article about changing career to become a Luthier

By admin on March 8, 2011

Van Halen guitar lands in Smithsonian

By wannabe on February 8, 2011

strong>(CNN) — A monster of sorts is lurking in the halls of the Smithsonian — a beast that once belonged to rocker Eddie Van Halen.

Vintage guitars are a great investment that only increases in value.
