Guitar/Luthier Supplies, Tools & Parts

What started out as a search to have a seven string archtop built for myself, ended up as a web site and a collection of over 240 luthiers that can build you an archtop guitar.

A listing of luthier organizations, parts and equipments suppliers. Some have e-mail address and web pages. Others can be reached the old fashioned way.

Additional Luthier Web Resources

  • Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans -

    During the summer of 1988, a small group of stringed instrument makers and repair technicians met with the intent of establishing a not-for-profit professional trade organization. Most simply, we preferred to be an "association," deciding to focus specifically on "stringed instruments," and we felt that the word "artisans" best described our mutual activities. Hence, the Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans (with the accidental yet recognizable acronym of "ASIA") was born. Michael Dresdner was chosen to launch the concept of ASIA, with the initial goal of facilitating through consensus a mission statement and set of bylaws that would provide a framework of integrity for our future evolution.

    With Michael Dresdner's task complete, a Board of Directors was elected and Dick Boak, assuming the voluntary post of editor and executive director, began the task of developing a publication and operating procedure. The ASIA journal began as a very informal 4-page newsletter and grew over the course of several years into the substantial and respected magazine Guitarmaker.
