Northwest Handmade Instrument Exhibit

Bend is often known for being the location where Breedlove Guitars was founded, however, there are also a handful of nationally known boutique guitar builders in the area. These Central Oregon instrument builders are featured in the September edition of Bend Magazine.

I had the pleasure of meeting with the talented photographer, Ron Raport, who is also an Urlacher Guitars enthusiast. We connected in scenic Sunriver, OR, for a guitar shoot in nature. I love seeing one of my creations amongst trees, which are of course a natural resource that my work relies heavily upon.

It has been a longtime goal to partner with premier boutique guitar dealer, Dream Guitars. I dug into the wood stash and selected this old, rare set of fiddleback Mahogany, paired with a perfect German Spruce top.
