Why Our Custom Acoustic Guitars?

If you’re fascinated by luthierie and are visiting us to see some examples of what’s available for purchase, welcome. Actually, whether you are here to buy one of the custom acoustic guitars at Luthiers Collection or you are "just window shopping," welcome.

While you’re here, please take a moment to view the many custom made acoustic guitars in our image galleries. Note that these guitars that have already been painstakingly made by well known and less well known luthiers are available to purchase now. You won’t need to wait six months to have your custom built guitar in hand.

Our online shop is set up to give you access to a world of guitar making, but if you happen to be in the San Diego area, please don’t hesitate to call or email us. Let us know you’d like to stop by and see some of the custom acoustic guitars in our inventory, and we’ll be more than happy to accommodate you.

Owned by Mike Joyce, Luthier’s Collection is one of just two resources of its kind in the United States, serving both the luthiers’ community (everyone can use a dedicated middle man, right?) and folks like you who are interested in custom made acoustic guitars. Traugott, Claxton, Bashkin, Alberico, Hamblin, Manser, Matsuda, and many other custom builders are represented here. We also offer a fine selection of classical guitars by Laskin, Traphagen, Redgate and others. Simon Fay, Galloup, Tippin and Franklin and other custom guitars, one-of-a-kind, heirloom quality pieces that provide years of mesmerizing beauty and seductive sound potential, await your consideration. If you are looking for some of the best handmade guitars you have come to the right place.

You can call us at 760.742.1808 or send an email to us at luthcol@gmail.com or mike@gmail.com. We look forward to meeting you.
