Art Coombs Luthier

The Art of Guitar Making

Where Passion Meets Craftsmanship

Luthier (loo-tee-ay) — A skilled craftsperson who builds or repairs string instruments such as guitars, violins, and cellos. The term originates from the French word "luth," meaning lute.

A Journey of Discovery

What started as a therapeutic hobby has blossomed into a true passion. Art Coombs discovered the art of guitar making and found it to be the perfect blend of craftsmanship, creativity, and patience.

Each guitar is meticulously handcrafted with attention to every detail — from selecting the finest tonewoods to the final polish. It's not just about building an instrument; it's about creating a piece of art that produces beautiful music.

This isn't a business — it's a labor of love. Art takes immense pride in the quality of his work and enjoys sharing these beautiful instruments with those who appreciate fine craftsmanship.
