Gilles Mercier, Luthier: Conception et fabrication artisanale de guitares. Aix en Provence, France.
(...) Another experience, another vision, another conception : trained at the Mittenwald School of Luthiers, for a long time, Gilles Mercier, oscillated between the production of the instruments of the string quartet and the guitar.
He is now settled in Aix-en-Provence and makes only guitars. Recommended by musicians such as Dana Chivers, he is one of the few luthiers to use violonistic lutherie techniques. In particular, he works only with knife, plane and chisel, without machinery. The rosaces are black and white in accordance with violin filature technique, a neck/head V-joint lamination and French polish, in the purest tradition of the 19th century, are his unique marks.
He offers affordable concert models and more elaborated models in which, as in a epoch long past, "time doesn't count" ...

Langley Guitars /Builders of hand-crafted headless custom guitars using top quality materials and creators of the D-head drop tuner for headless guitars and basses.
The D-head allows "headless" guitar players to drop tune the Low E down to B and anywhere in between--Or--tune up to a pitch higher than E and drop to your pre-set pitch. Once set, you have a simple turn of the thumb-wheel to change between pitches so it can easily be done during a song if you so desire ...

Mervyn Davis: designer and maker of stringed musical instruments.
My fascination with instrument building started at a very early age and like many other South African boys I made use of petrol cans in my first attempts. The tale of my father building a mandolin in a prisoner of war camp in Italy during the second world war in addition to being part of a musical family inspired me into more serious instrument building throughout my high school days.
While studying architecture at the university of Port Elizabeth (1974 - 1978) I started receiving commissions from local musicians to build guitars and other instruments. During this period, I was also commissioned by the university to do all required maintenance of the instruments belonging to the music conservatoire.
After graduating in 1978 I started a career in full time instrument making which was only interrupted by two years military service between 1980 and 1982. Working in relative isolation in South Africa resulted in my developing a unique style of instrument building which is characterized by a high content of experimentation.
Although my work has become very different from the classic designs, my passion is still soundly rooted in the beauty of the work of the early masters. My quest remains to build instruments that meet the demands of modern composers, express modern aesthetics and make use of modern technology while retaining the romance and lure of the classic instruments.

Steve Grimes has built arch top and double soundhole flat top guitars for some of the top players in the world. He specializes in custom tailoring his guitars to suit the tonal, aesthetic, and playability requirements of his customers ... Music and woodworking are two very different types of “performing” arts. Being both a woodworker and a working musician in 1972, I found myself fascinated by the prospect of combining these two professions. After studying with a violin maker and working in the instrument repair trade, I set up my own shop in Seattle, Washington, USA and began making arch top mandolins. For the first two years I made mandolins exclusively, subsidizing my new venture by doing repairs on all types of string instruments. When I was able to increase production of new instruments and get them into the hands of some good players, I was finally able to devote myself fully to building new instruments.
Being more of a guitar player than a violin or mandolin player, I found that my interests were leaning more toward guitar construction, and in 1974 I began making acoustic arch top guitars. Soon the number of guitars exceeded the number of mandolins being produced, and new and different models of guitars found their way into the product line. In 1982, I began making two new types of flat top guitars (a steel string and a classical), a semi hollow body arch top electric, and an oval soundhole acoustic arch top ...
