STHAC Guitars a fine hand-made handcrafted guitars and basses and Custom Shop.
STHAC (pronounce ) is not an industrial guitars brand. All our guitars are carefully handmade with high quality woods from USA, Honduras, Brazil, Canada and Africa. We stand behind everything we make and guarantee them against any defect for a period of 10 years!
What makes us different is our total dedication to innovation and creativity in the world of the electric guitar.
We are convinced that, from a technological viewpoint, we are not evolving as we might and that we are going down the wrong road by over concentration on mass-production ...
Longbow Guitars: John Longbow, Owner John founded this company 15 years ago in Fresno, California. He is Choctaw/Chickasaw native. So, naturally the woodland native found a talent for his love of building things. It all started when his parents refused to buy him a guitar. So, he did what any rebellious kid would do, with no money and helping his dad out at the construction site, he picked up scraps and started to build his first guitar at the age of 10. So, the legend, the man was written down in history So here we are... 15 years later and the love of building guitars is still very much a passion like the first time he decided to build his own. John has Bachelors in Music from the University of Santa Cruz, California. He started the business in CALIFORNIA and is now moving the main shop to Milan, New Mexico. Milan, NM proves to be a centralized point for all the endorsements and near the Navajo and Acoma Reservations. He strives for all our customers to know that Longbow Guitars is proudly owned Native American Company ...
Nelsonic guitars began in 2001 with one premise:
Consistently high quality instruments at a fair price.
To insure that every Nelsonic guitar is worthy of the Nelsonic name, all of our instruments are
produced in limited quantities by a single employee owned facility. We combine a high degree of
craftsmanship with our experienced team of technicians to fully inspect and set each instrument
to our precise standards.
We feel that the end result of our effort at Nelsonic is an instrument
that rivals those costing several times more, and we feel that you will, too.
All Nelsonic guitars are manufactured in South Korea and professionally setup in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Custom Made Guitars by Robert Wilkinson:
How would you like an electric guitar hand-made from quality materials exactly to your own specification? Well I can do that for you. I build Electric Guitars, Basses, and Mandolins to specification.
This will not be cheap and you won't be able to walk away with it today but you will have an instrument that is unique with the look and feel that you want.
The first thing you need to consider is what type of instrument you want made. This could be Guitar or Bass Guitar or even Mandola or Mandolin. It could even be a twin neck combination of any these.
For Guitars and basses you also need to consider the number of strings. You could have 5, 6, 7, or 12 for a guitar or 4,5, or 6 for a bass ...
Art and Lutherie Guitars: You should enjoy your first guitar playing experience instead of becoming discouraged by an instrument that is difficult to play.
It was with this in mind that Godin Guitar Company President & Founder, Robert Godin, set about designing a line of entry-level acoustic guitars that would bring the key attributes of pro quality guitars within the reach of novice players. Most entry-level guitars are made with an emphasis on how they look, which is fine unless it is accomplished at the expense of how the guitar sounds and feels. For example, A&L guitars are finished with genuine lacquer. This special finish is applied over a four-day process that leaves a thin coating that protects the wood without inhibiting vibration. The thick plastic finishes found on other entry level guitars are the result of a one-shot spray technique that smothers the wood and the sound along with it. And, it doesn't stop with the finish. A&L guitars are made using many of the same tolerances and techniques as those of Godin's world-renowned Seagull guitars.
Precise neck pitch, fully compensated saddles, high ratio tuners, pro-quality set-ups and playability are all features that make the A&L guitars fun to play.
After all, guitar playing is supposed to be fun ...
