World Class Luthiers Online

Serious guitarists realize the value of a quality, hand made instrument. There are, of course, very few craftsmen producing fine guitars by hand. The waiting list to purchase such an instrument, such as a Kim Walker guitar, can be years. This is incredibly frustrating. Even older instruments can be difficult to find, especially in the competitive atmosphere created by online auction sites.

The Internet is also making it easier to find luthiers online, thanks to the Luthier's Collection. We have relationships with some of the most respected, most talented instrument makers in the world. This allows us to receive instruments and offer them to our patrons without any wait. On the Luthier's Collection you will find guitars from renowned craftsmen such as:

• "Michi" Matsuda

• Mario Beauregard
• Raymond Kraut

• Kent Hamblin

There are 20 renowned artists represented on the Luthier's Collection and for many, this is probably your only opportunity to purchase one of their instruments.

Among the many choice guitars you will find in the Luthier's Collection inventory are the instruments of Kim Walker. If you are not familiar with Kim's history, you may be interested to know he started out making banjoes and dulcimers in 1973. Soon after, he expanded into flattops. He worked for both George Gruhn and the Guild Guitar Company before starting his own company in 1994. A Kim Walker guitar is a highly sought after instrument and a welcome addition to any collection. His instruments are beautiful and produce a rich tone.
