Description
Hand-Crafted Classical Guitars by Paul Jacobson, Luthier.
At The Guitar Workshop I produce about a dozen classical guitars each year. I also do repair work on almost all kinds of fretted instruments and customizing, particularly upgrading classical guitars to improve intonation. I do all the work myself...no apprentices. My guitars are sold around the world both direct from my workshop and by dealers in the U. S. and abroad.
If you've visited this webSite in the past (or even if you haven't), you may want to check the News page first. That's where I post changes and additions to the site. I also put most anything else there that I consider newsworthy for fellow friends of the guitar. If I'm planning to attend an upcoming guitar event, I'll make that known on this page...perhaps we'll bump up against each other.
Most of the customizing work I do on classical guitars is in the area of intonation, which is a special interest of mine. Almost any otherwise well-made guitar can be made to play in tune, even though most of them do not. There's a special Intonation Upgrades page on this if you'd like to find out more ...

Carson Crickmore Guitars:
In this life of high-technology and mass production, Phil Carson Crickmore produces the finest quality handcrafted guitars utilising the skills he has gained over the last 20 years.
80% of Carson Crickmore Guitars are produced in blackwood: This is Australia's premier instrument building wood, growing straight grained and with figure, ie fiddleback. Blackwood is stable when prepared properly, it bends very well and consistently produces a strong, fundamental tone. It is very appealing visually and there is a good supply available within Australia.
Carson Crickmore Guitars treads the middle path between technology and tradition, never allowing the innovation of the former to compromise the individuality of the latter.
Our guitars are handcrafted from tailblock to headstock. Their tonal range is achieved through an uncompromising process of timber selection and painstaking attention to detail.
For over 20 years, Carson Crickmore has created instruments for people who appreciate the difference between a guitar that is handcrafted rather than produced.

Michael Cone Classical Guitars: Exceptional hand made classical guitars by Michael Cone, with images, MP3 files, and links to luthier tools and supplies.
The designs of my guitars are based on the patterns of Torres and Hauser and are tailored to each individual. A guitar for concert performance must be able to produce the desired sound effortlessly. From the clarity, sustain, tone quality, volume, projection, evenness and balance, to the playability and aesthetics, these are instruments suitable for concert hall or recording studio.
I began building musical instruments in 1968. Initially inspired by the sound of Julian Bream playing a Bouchet, I finished my first classical guitar in 1969. Early influences included Pagés, Torres, Panormo, Fleta, and Hauser. Through the fortuitous circumstance of finding an 1803 Juan Pagés guitar at a garage sale in Maine, I was able to examine one of the earliest examples of five fan bracing as well as 18th century building techniques first hand ...

Zen Classical Guitars, Roger Allan.
It is the treatment of the wood that is so often overlooked especially the sound board, after the trauma of being cut from the log and the wood processed into soundboards they should be stored in cool quiet place for many years to recover from the damaging high frequencies emitted by the machines.
When the decision is made to construct a new instrument the optimum time to begin is at the start of the new moon. The first shavings of wood are removed from the sound board the grain and texture revealed, and then it begins, the mystical relationship between the maker and the material, that instinctive understanding of the wood that takes a lifetime to achieve ...
