Acoustic Guitars, Handmade Masterpieces

If you will be using the guitar as an instrument (either professionally or as a hobby) rather than just a collector's item, consider your personal musical needs or wants before choosing your model. Do you know your preference for string gauge? What is your ideal style of picking and tuning? In addition, think about other needs when choosing from a selection of acoustic guitars. Handmade items can take months to years to make, depending on the craftsperson's popularity and productivity. Another question is how much you are willing to spend on said piece. Prices typically range from $2,000 to $50,000, with the average customized guitar costing between $3,000 and $5,000.

Before choosing custom handmade guitars, do some in depth research. Find out who makes the specific type and style of guitar you are looking for, and ask what fellow musicians think of their experience with the instruments built by this master craftsman. Read through the descriptions of the models listed at Luthier's Collection, and you are bound to find one that fits your unique needs and musical personality.

Guitars that are crafted by artisans are more expensive than the standard factory manufactured guitar. These are one-of-a-kind items created by masters that appeal to art collectors and musicians alike. Acoustic guitars handmade by artisans come in two general types, those made as art pieces and those customized to suit a particular musician. Collectors may purchase a customized guitar to hang on the wall, never to be played, whereas a musician might commission a guitar to suit his or her unique needs. The customer might like the sound of a Gibson but the form of a Taylor, and custom handmade guitars can provide the best of both worlds. In addition, the wood and design of a guitar can affect its sound. Browse the Luthier's Collection website to choose the perfect guitar for you. The descriptions of our inventory detail the type of wood, design, and any special features attached to the piece. We post photographs of each guitar from various angles to help you choose the best model for you. Browse today and be on your way to owning a masterpiece tomorrow!
