Trevor Kronbauer. Base price still $3600.00 USD. Not sure what he's doing during COVID times. My mini-Jumbo is 17 yrs old, and an amazing instrument (Koa/Sitka). The mini-Jumbo is his sweet-spot instrument. Several Fanned Fret tappers have had him build guitars too. I've played about a dozen Kronbauers, and 8 of those were Mini-Jumbos. One of my students had him build a Ziracote/Cedar which is still an amazing sounding guitar.

I think Trevor builds fabulous guitars. The 2 I had the privilege of owning for several years were both phenomenal instruments. I wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger on another one when the time comes. |

Aviva Steigmeyer
You’re welcome. There was an article about her in an Acoustic Guitar mag article about luthiers who are women. It’s such a boys club, it was refreshing to see. Also I’m correcting the spelling of her first name. AVIVA.

If you go to $5200 it covers Kinnaird which, after spending a week with them and a few other weekends recently, I would highly recommend. He has at least a couple Deep OM's for sale at the moment that are under $5k and are all amazing...don't tell anyone, but the mahogany one is the best .
Fred Tellier is another Canadian builder well under your cap and I have a Lutz/Bubinga SJ of his that is the masterpiece that sent me down this very expensive rabbit hole of buying handmade acoustics for a hobby.
