What type of guitar you are shopping for has everything to do with what type of person you are. Many guitar options exist at various price ranges to fit your fancy. In fact, there is a line of them already available to hit your sweet spot of design, tone and feel. However, if your not buying your first guitar and decide to go rogue and work with a builder, it’s just like building a house. There are endless options when building from scratch. As for building/designing custom guitars, that opens the door to who you really are and what you expect for yourself.
There is a reason why luthiers are booming. Guitar designs have become unique and extraordinary. Component options have become limitless, but in most ways, wood selection is still key to enhancing shape, textures and tones of building your dream. There is a long list of superior quality luthiers imparting their wisdom and vision into the craft. New builders are rising up and making more bold innovations to advance the instrument into new levels of understanding. Things have moved past iconic veteran body designs with a new, different, old or bold finish. Innovations start on the smallest scale and often times go misunderstood or misplaced amongst players. Searching for the next best thing is a hunt worth having. Innovating designs amongst old body styles can be tricky. NEWMAN Guitars has been land locked to our body shape and headstock design since 1977. However, as a guitar company, we know what people want and we know how to give it to them. We build guitars for those who share our vision. That’s what makes an independent guitar builder/company the best choice for your next guitar. We ultimately want what you want with the means to get it there. Many guitar companies nowadays “want you to want what they want you to want.” If you have a custom guitar built, you own it by nature of your vision. It’s making a guitar uniquely your own that takes you on a new road to fulfillment. The walk is beautiful and the people you meet on your journey could last a lifetime. Jeff Smith/NEWMAN Guitars
