Description
Denver based custom built guitars and repair services.
Michas Custom Guitars is owned and operated by Chris Michas. It is located in Denver, CO right near downtown. First and foremost, Chris is a guitar player and a consumer in the guitar market.
Since he was a child Chris spend most of his time tinkering with electronics, building things and taking things apart (most of which never got put back together). These were the building blocks for what was to come.
It was not until the past five years that Chris started taking woodworking and his attention to detail seriously. Most of his paychecks went to buying new tools and equipment. He set up a small shop space in the corner of his garage. Most of his spare time was spent learning how all that stuff worked.
Chris has been a long time Grateful Dead fan. He was inspired by Jerry Garcia's guitar. He had to have one! After doing plenty of research, he learned that it was one of the most custom guitars ever made and the only way to get one was to make one. After two attempts at making a body blank he figured out that he should probably start with something a little more basic. It was then he built his first guitar, a bass in particular. It was nothing special, but a huge learning experience.
Around that same point in time he lost his job as a Radio Frequency Technician. In the process of looking for another job on the Internet he found a guitar building school down in Phoenix, AZ. This place was called The Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery. He signed up not taking it all too seriously. They got back to him saying he was on the waiting list and the job search continued. Some time went by and all of a sudden there was an opening and he moved down to Phoenix with one week’s notice to attend this school for 6 months. Chris' stars were aligned; the schools director of training, John Reuter was making a Jerry Garcia replica guitar for himself from start to finish in the exact 6 months that he was in attendance there ...

Welcome to Stellar Guitars official web site. Our goal is provide the best quality guitar without making a serious dent in your wallet. We offer an extensive line of electric, acoustic, and bass guitars.
Our belief in producing the best guitars, does not stop at the guitar itself. We produce our own signature pickups, strings and accessories. Stellar is run and owned by guitar players who have owned and played all the best guitars in the world. We have taken all the best qualities from some of the most renowned guitars to create our Stellar's.
How can we offer such a great value and quality? The answer is simply this; ever since we were young guitar players we always wanted to play the guitars our rock star idols played. The only problem was that we could not afford them. The only guitars we could afford were either used or very poor quality. Even though we were able to create music with our guitars we still desired a high quality piece of art. We made an oath that one day we would we would create high quality guitars that sounded just like, or better than, the elite brands but at a fraction of the cost. All these years later, here we are presenting you with our Stellar Guitars!

Paul Fischer, maker of fine classical guitars:
Fine instruments are a pleasure to play, a joy to behold….. there can be few appreciating assets which can give such pleasure both for the present and for future generations.
Beginning his instrument making career in 1956, Paul Fischer has remained true to his art and is now the most famous British living classical guitar maker. He is widely acknowledged throughout the world as one of the finest exponents of the craft of the luthier. Born on the Isle of Man but brought up in the city of Oxford, it was here that he began his career under the tutelage of the renowned harpsichord maker Robert Goble, making instruments within the finest European tradition. Further study at the Oxford College of Art and Technology completed his training. Making harpsichords, spinets and clavichords gave him an added perspective and fresh thoughts on the quality of craftsmanship and value of the history of instrument making ...
