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.

Santa Barbara Acoustic Instrument Celebration
Urlacher Guitars is headed to the SBAIC this fall and I couldn’t be more excited! This exhibit features work by over 100 luthiers, music concerts, master classes and trade show. I am most eager to meet contemporary masters who’s dedication to the craft and work I’ve admired for years. You may be able to find me at the booth of Gallery Hardwoods where my friend Larry Davis will have a healthy stash of his amazing tonewoods for purchase. The show dates are September 29th – October 2nd.
