So you want to buy a custom or handmade acoustic guitar? This writer is lives in Utah. Could on find a great handmade guitar in Utah? The answer is definitely yes, in fact, if you look a little, you can find them anywhere! Although the local Salt Lake City music stores carry custom guitars, there are a number of luthiers, or custom electric and acoustic guitar makers that will build one that is tailored just to your specifications and requirements, right down to the type of woods, the shape of the neck, and the kind of decoration you may want on the guitar. They will even inlay your own design in the fretboard or your initials in the headstock, whatever you want!
If you buy a guitar from a store, you will buy what is offered on the wall and not one that is truly unique according to your requirements. Will you pay less than if you purchased a guitar from a custom guitar maker? Yes, this is most likely the case, and this will have to be one of the factors you will need to consider when desiring a unique custom made guitar. Custom guitars are often made by entirely hand. Every detail is carefully constructed by the maker himself. Few custom guitar makers use automated building processes, use hand tools and chisels, so the time to custom build a guitar is significant. Therefore the cost is higher than a factory made guitar, many of which use mainly automated processes.
If making it a truly unique one-of-a-kind instrument is your primary goal and you can afford it, the guitar maker route is the one for you. If cost is the issue, then head to one of the local Salt Lake City music stores. Either way you go, you will get a quality instrument that you will enjoy!
