For the Love of Music

Custom Steel-String Acoustic Guitars

The voice of a guitar is the culmination of wood materials used along with knowledge, skill and intuition of the maker. Every Urlacher Guitar is made by me; one at a time with the highest level of attention to detail from start to finish. I focus on custom build quality rather than producing a large number of guitars. The art of lutherie is a lifelong passion that combines my background in Fine Arts and my love for music. If you are interested in commissioning a handcrafted guitar or have any questions, please feel free to contact me. You can also visit my For Sale page to see my current inventory of guitars available for purchase.

Urlacher Guitars will be attending the 2025 B.I.G. (Bowersox International Guitarapolooza) guitar show, located in New Braunfels, TX. In addition, to view and play my guitars in-person, a shop visit is always a possibility by appointment.

This voice has such a wonderful clear, somewhat dry tone that also has some very pleasing overtones. This guitar is amazingly responsive, even at its young age. I could go…Read More...
