One of the things I love about building guitars is the sense of community. So with that in mind, here’s a list of friends, teachers, suppliers, and organizations that I particularly appreciate.

David Wren, Linda Manzer, Grit Laskin, Sergei de Jonge

These are all former apprentices of Jean Larrivee and some of the best builders, not just in Canada, but the world.

Guild of American Luthiers

Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans

Stephen makes ukeleles. But it’s not really his fault.

Michael Colbert

Luthiers Mercantile International
