James L. Mapson is a premier Southern California builder of fine archtop guitars. Instruments are built in small batches to control quality to the highest standards.
Various tonewoods are aged on site, including AA, AAA, and Master grade Maple and Spruce from both domestic and European sources. Each instrument is hand carved and tap response optimized to bring out the best balance of tone and projection possible.
Appointments can vary to suit the customer's requirements. Each design is first created in CAD, to provide a dimensioned print and a rendering for customer approval prior to production. Accurate tooling and forms are then produced to aid in the production of the instruments, insuring faithful execution of each design ...

Introduction to guitar builder Sheldon Schwartz's website. When I was in high school back in the 70s, I set up my Strat with the tremolo down on the body to keep it from going out of tune so much (this is done all the time these days). This threw the Clampingintonation off, and not knowing how to fix it myself, I took my guitar to the local music shop to have that done. I explained to the repairman what I wanted, but he was not happy with my tremolo adjustment. He set the tremolo back up off the body and tweaked the intonation. When I picked up the guitar he told me, "that's not the way you set up the tremolo". I was a little frustrated to find he didn't do what I asked. I took the guitar and walked out without paying, vowing never to let another person work on my guitar again.
That's how it all started. I did my own research and learned how to set up my guitar. Things just progressed from there. I was always interested in working on guitars and how they were constructed. At the same time, I was never satisfied with any acoustic guitar I saw in a music store. Even though I wanted to have a good wooden acoustic guitar, what I saw was so abysmal (at least to me) I wound up getting an Ovation to tide me over until I could find an acoustic guitar that I liked. I never did.
In 1992 I decided to pursue a full-time career in guitarbuilding. Not having any real training, I enrolled in David Freeman's Jointingguitarbuilding course at Timeless Instruments. That's where I built my first acoustic guitar.
Shortly after the course I rented a space in a cabinetmaker's shop and built three more acoustic guitars. It became clear to me that Timeless Instruments was a good place to learn the basics. Now I needed to find out how people that made guitars for a living really did it if I was to continue.
Luckily, there are some great guitarmakers in Toronto. The first person I sought out was Grit Laskin and next, Linda Manzer. I was very fortunate to have guidance from two of the world's most talented hand-builders in my early days ...

Rowan Guitars:
My philosophy is simple. If it is worth your time to do, do it the best you can. Anyone who is interested in playing a fine hand crafted instrument will appreciate the quality workmanship and attention to detail I strive to put into my guitars. I also know that the best guitars in the world are of no use to anyone if they are priced out of reach.
To this end, much consideration has been given to all facets of the guitar’s design. I have tried to pick the best available components providing the greatest return to the end user. Pattern grade Mahogany is the wood of choice for bodies and necks due in no small part to its excellent stability and smooth, rich tonal qualities. Quilted and Flame Maples make a beautiful statement as the woods of choice for the top caps on many models. Smooth, close grained Ebony or Madagascar and Palasander Rosewoods are used for the fingerboards which cover a state-of-the-art, double acting truss rod.
Starting at the headstock and working down you will discover precision Gotoh tuning machines; Rowan, Van Zandt and Fishman pickups; and Gotoh and Hipshot bridges. Solid brass knobs turn smooth operating CGE volume and tone pots. Switchcraft input jacks and knife switches insure trouble free operation and output signal handling ...
