Ozark Mountain Music: Northwest Arkansas Guitars

Blueridge Guitars

Each Blueridge has the traditional dovetail neck/body joint and each model's neck features and adjustable truss rod. The Kluson style enclosed tuning machines with "butterbean" buttons, in either gold or nickel, have the perfect vintage look, yet offer modern precision and feel. These fine Blueridge guitars are certainly throwbacks to an earlier era when craftsmanship and quality reigned supreme. These original designs look like they came from the 1920's. They perfectly capture the style and spirit of the Golden Era, and you will not find inlays of this quality on any current guitar at anywhere near this affordable price.

It was and is Richard's intent to translate his skills and sensitivities as an individual builder to an exceptional team of craftspeople, each of whom could become an expert in their specialty.

Larrivee Guitars

Jean Larrivée first became interested in the guitar as a teenager, trying to play Duane Eddy licks on an $18 guitar. At twenty, with no other musical training in his background, he made the decision to take up a serious study of classic guitar. Four years into this study, he was introduced to German classical guitar builder Edgar Mönch, who was then working in Toronto. Jean expressed interest in learning how to build, Mönch invited him to visit his shop, and so began an apprenticeship. Jean built his first two guitars under Mönch's tutelage before setting up a workshop in his home, where he continued to build and study. The energy which had fueled nightly five hour practice sessions was now directed toward learning to construct instruments. He had found his life's work.

Taylor Guitars

Since 1974, Taylor and Listug, have made musical-instrument history by becoming the first American luthiers in this century to take an acoustic guitar company from one-off shop to production-level manufacturer without relinquishing ownership or creative control.

Epiphone Guitars

The same spirit of innovation that drove the Stathopoulos to start pushing the boundaries of guitar design over one hundred and twenty-five years ago is alive and well at Epiphone today. Styles of music will continue to evolve, new technologies will come and go and new players will continue to take music and guitar in new directions. But our passion for making music and our mission of providing musicians with a great instrument they can rely on to express themselves will always remain constant.
