liberty guitars
Description
Since 1987 , Liberty has incorporated a high standard of hand craftsmanship with technology to produce the finest quality resophonic guitars. Even though modern technology is an important part of our production technique, all Liberty instruments are built in the classic resophonic tradition.
When pondering how Liberty Guitars got its name , one might imagine it symbolizes being set free from the bounds of life through playing slide guitar, "yeah but not exactly," says Bill Blue. He recalls, "There was a little diner in North Carolina where the band used to stop on road trips, always four or five in the morning. It was called the Liberty Diner. They had this big neon sign for the business, but the Diner part of it didn't work. So in the twilight of the night we would see only the word "Liberty" for about half mile before we got there. It was a great place to unwind after a tiring gig and long road trip. One night while we were there talking about guitars, someone asked me what's the name of my guitar company. The words just came out........ Liberty Guitars. Even our logo is a reflection of that sign. The diner has been closed for years now and the sign is gone too, but those warm memories live on. It would be great to have that sign in our shop." "But you know," Bill says, "Playing slide guitar does set you free."

Alan Carruth, Luthier:
You've been perfecting your sound for a long time......So have I.
An experienced player knows that there is nothing quite like the sound of a great guitar. No other instrument has the broad palette of tone colors, subtlety, responsiveness, or dynamic range. You worked a long time to learn to hear it, and even longer to learn to use it.
I've worked for over 25 years as a builder to understand and control the tone of the guitars I make. I was a pioneer in the use of “plate tuning” on the guitar, and one of the first people to use it regularly on steel string flat top and archtop guitars. From the physiology of hearing to the characteristics of tone woods, and beyond, I’ve worked hard to find out “where the sound comes from”, and applied that knowledge to building over 350 instruments of all kinds ...
