Heatley Guitars:
I first became interested in guitars when I was around 5 years old. That was when I saw my first electric guitar in person. I remember being awe struck, abnormally fascinated with this mysterious instrument. It wasn't until years later, at the age of 12, that I learned how to play. Soon my curiosity got the best of me and I started taking guitars apart and rebuilding them. I wanted to learn every aspect of the guitar. From wires and wood to set-ups and construction. I also spent a good part of my youth in my room playing.
From that grew Heatley Guitars. Started in 1997 with the help of my family and the trust of my first customers' word spread from New York to Hong Kong. Thanks to the Internet the company has grown from a small 15' by 15' room to a full sized shop with modern CNC technology.
From day one, my goal has been to provide the customer with a superior instrument at a reasonable price. To build to the tightest of tolerances and with the finest attention to detail, an instrument that becomes part of you when you play it. The ultimate tool for expression. Each instrument is painstakingly crafted to the specifications and desires of the individual. Therefore, every Heatley guitar is unique. No two are identical ...

RS Guitars is the result of a life long admiration of the Red Special guitar. This in conjunction with the fact that it has been virtually impossible to get an authentic style Red Special guitar, has led us to produce the RS Classic guitar. These guitars are custom built to order, and each will have its own unique character. We strive to produce top quality guitars with the finest available materials, giving you a lifetime to explore their sonic capabilities. So if you have always desired one of these guitars, and lacked the ability or desire to build one yourself, let us build your dream for you. RS Guitars are built using our authentic design specs and our own custom components, such as the custom replica knobs and the knife edge tremolo system.

The FRAME GUITAR represents the successful synthesis of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. The radical design, reduced to the essential components, has been leading to exceptional tonal capabilities, which provide the ideal prerequisite for outstanding electro-acoustic performance. The FRAME GUITAR makes a difference. It's probably today's finest and best sounding electro-acoustic guitar.
The FRAME GUITAR was developed by german luthier Frank Krocker who draws on more than 15 years experience in building high level classical guitars. The whole thing started more or less by chance in 1995, when a customer asked for a high quality classical guitar, of compact design, for performing and traveling purposes. At that time nobody expected the FRAME GUITAR would turn out to become something so exciting! At present the FRAME GUITAR's versatile uses are appreciated by professional guitarists of all musical styles, including many of world's best known and most respected artists ...

Handmade stringed instruments built from straight grained woods. All woods are carefully selected and inspected for quality. You can own the common, or the not so common. Imagination in building is as great as the imagination of a person playing an instrument.

Classical Guitars by Steve Ganz, Builder.
I was born (whew!) and grew up in Southern California, in the Mar Vista/Venice area. I began playing guitar before I was a teenager. A friend of mine showed me a few chords and I was hooked. I had played the trombone in orchestra school for several years prior to guitar and I loved the intimacy of the little stringed instrument. Until somebody told me about Segovia, I had no knowledge that the guitar could play classical music. I fell further in love listening to Segovia and Bream. The sounds of guitar are etched into my being.
During my teens I had another passion, (aside from girls and sports) which led me to working with wood: Bellyboarding. I began making paipo boards. Paipo boards are small wooden surf boards that predate today’s boogie boards. They were hydro-dynamically shaped, with integral hand holds and skegs. I don’t think anybody rides those anymore. Just like nobody rides balsawood longboards.
At the age of 19, I built my first classical guitar with John Roberts in Arizona. I am mostly self-taught, but I have been helped and influenced by other Bellingham luthiers, John Rollins and Dake Traphagen. I have been a member of the Guild of American Lutherie since 1994 and have been influenced quite a bit by the many acquaintances I have made at GAL (Guild of American Luthiers) conventions. (I’d like to go into details here in the future…)
