By incorporating torrefied Red Spruce tops, forward-shift X-bracing and a vintage aesthetic, we honor the past while embracing modern innovation. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in every detail, ensuring each guitar is a masterpiece of sound and craftsmanship.

What Our Musicians Say
“Of all the guitars I’ve played in the last fifty years…a few stand out…a 1993 Benedetto Manhattan, a Santa Cruz or two, the Martins I bought and sold…my own walnut 1993 Mossman, my 2024 custom Gallagher, and pretty much every Bluegrass Bell I played while waiting for my custom G50. The feel in the hand, the vibration translated through the body, the tone in the ear…believe me, as a documentary filmmaker of guitar stories, I got to play all the major and boutique brands of the past several decades. Absolutely nothing rings as true as the instruments coming out of Murfreesboro these days. There is a spark of magic in that shop…it’s their leadership and dedicated crew.” — Bill Noel
