+ 1! Also with modified criteria, David Flammang could possibly fit into this category.

Lots to choose from!
What a list, and more to come no doubt. Enjoy the search...
There is a constant parade of guitar riches FS in the classifieds here. I lucked into my first John Kinnaird when Mike/Woody had it up FS there about five years ago. Since then I have had him build me 5 more... need I say more about my recommendation? Hahahaha And now Mike has the original one back again! Cheers Paul

Keep in mind, the base price includes old growth Brazilian rosewood, if your tastes were more pedestrian, it would be worth asking him about pricing. He builds great guitars!

According to his site, his cheapest is $6500. Most are substantially more. But that's not so bad as it sounds as he seems to only use Brazilian B&S.

A few more that come to mind: Aaron Foster (Queen City Guitars), Jeremy Hamm (Hamm-Tone Guitars), Bill Kraus (Kraus Guitars). Many accomplished names on this expanding list. I don't really think you could go wrong ordering a guitar from any of the luthiers mentioned, provided their style suits your style.

As noted above - much closer to the 5k mark if you decide you want something less exotic than Braz.

Burner Guitars
I picked up one from a trade here on the AGF, I’ve had it now since about May.
So a sample size of 1. It was built with a Manzer wedge body, with Sinker Redwood/ Cocobolo B&S. They did very nice work. The guitar plays and sounds great to me. I think they are very reasonably priced, and for a Manzer wedge- Which I don’t see many examples of for less than 5 or 6K. |

Andrew does a great job and his base price is well below 5k I just got a custom madsen guitar finished and it is top notch in every way. I should get some pics together and post them. He also made me a ukelele Definitely knows what he’s doing, and a nice guy to boot. Enjoy the search! |
