The workshop

Every guitar is shaped, braced and set up by hand

For almost seventy years our workshop has turned carefully selected tonewoods into instruments that players keep for a lifetime. Each guitar passes through the hands of our luthiers dozens of times before it leaves the bench. “A guitar should feel like it was built for you, because it was.” — Taim Khoury, founder
