Description
Suhr Guitars is a complete facility. We design a hand built feel into designs produced with modern technology. We cut our own necks, bodies and pickguards on our state of the art CNC router. Each guitar is detailed prior to paint and assembly. This allows us complete control over quality and consistency of our guitars. These are truly hand built guitars, each assembled by one builder. We wind our pickups on a computerized winder that allows us to program a consistent "hand wound" pickup, using a balance of old world tone and modern technology. Our fret slots are CNC cut, all frets are leveled and re-crowned, all edges removed and polished. Our paint process ensures the beauty of the wood shines through and contributes to the tone of the instrument. We fully endorse the "Buzz Feiten Tuning System" for the best in intonation and tunability. Tight neck fits, accurate string alignment and consistent friendly neck back shapes. All this lead to a guitar that you wont want to put down.
Necks
After many years of experience I'm convinced that nothing sounds better than a vintage style single truss rod. If the neck is made correctly there is no need for a "two way rod". We guarantee the necks for the lifetime of the original owner. We offer Plain grain hard rock maple as well as Birdseye Maple finest quality and museum grade birdseye, the Plain grain is usually the most stable (at least in my opinion), birdseye sure does look good though and ours is also eastern hard rock and comes from the same source as our plain grain. Our 1 piece plain grain maple necks are 1 piece with a Pau Ferro skunk stripe and headstock plug.
Our standard fingerboard Radius is 11-14" compound for the ultimate in clean bending with playability. Optional radius are 16", 9"-12" compound and 7.25 - 8.5" compound. The truss rod is accessed from the pickguard end of the neck with a special 1/8" allen wrench without removing the neck. All our frets and fingerboards are dressed with the neck under tension, the frets are re-crowned and polished for smooth bending. The corners of the fingerboard are broken in for a comfortable feel. Our current models are 25.5" fret scale using the "Buzz Feiten Tuning system". Other scale lengths will coming in the summer ...

Quality Guitars, Basses, Mandolins &, Banjos:
Arai and Company, founded in 1953 in Japan by Shiro Arai, began marketing Aria brand acoustic guitars in 1960, and began manufacturing its own acoustic guitars in 1964, followed by electrics in 1966, using Arai, Aria, Aria Diamond, and Diamond brand names. The Aria brand name was changed to Aria Pro II in late 1975, though this has been used primarily (but not exclusively) for electric guitars. All guitars were made in Japan until 1988, when production of less expensive models was switched to Korea. In the mid-1990s a few models were made in the United States. What follows is a listing of the Aria guitars we've been able to trace through this history. Obviously, this is not inclusive, and you should always take the dates as advisory, at best. Also, this whole listing is primarily related to the American market, but could also reflect dates and models from other markets as well ...

What is most striking is the consistent quality of tone from one of Ray's instruments to the next. He has been able to develop a tonal signature that takes into account the individual characteristics of each piece of wood to create a remarkably complex acoustic chamber
capable of producing rich musical tones. This consistency is very important to buyers of
custom-made instruments.
One of the best practitioners in the art of mandolin and guitar construction today is Ray Dearstone, who has been
making mandolins and guitars for over eighteen years.
Ray's approach to building these instruments is not radical. He adheres to time-proven methods, with great respect for the classic designs. Ray builds mandolins, archtop guitars, and violins in the traditional way, applying great skill to carefully hand-carve the arched top and back, a process that tunes the instrument's body to its most resonant pitch. This critical step is required to deliver volume and tonal complexity.mandolin,guitar,violin,mandolins,guitars,violins,electric,

Australian made, Christopher Melville Custom Handmade Acoustic Guitars are instruments of the highest quality and are crafted to the precise requirements of each individual client.
People have often asked what made me start making guitars. The answer that springs to mind is connected to my upbringing. I loved playing the instrument but couldn’t afford a good one. So in 1988 I decided to have a go at making my own. As a child I had pretty much grown up in my Grandfather’s workshop, which was full of all kinds of wonderful and mysterious tools that he used to build or fix all kinds of things. Some people have begun playing an instrument at age 7. Me, I was building things! It was from him that I learned that if you couldn’t afford to buy it, then build it yourself, as he had built nearly every item of machinery in his workshop! I remember spending hours just playing with bits of wood & metal that my grandfather would help me fashion into a boat or plane etc. He was, you could say, my first mentor ...
