Customer Testimonials: A. B. Manson Acoustic

“I recently had major work done by Greg Maxwell on my very expensive and treasured old guitar.  Boy, am I glad that I found Greg, because I do not think any other luthier would have given the time and effort  this project required.  My guitar needed a neck re-fit, but the project revealed numerous quirks in the original build which meant that Greg had to think, study, experiment, risk, and be exceptionally diligent to pull this project off.
The end result is superb.  Greg kept me in touch the whole way along.  His pricing was more than fair, and his personal service was outstanding. I would take another instrument to him without hesitation, even as I recommend him to you.”
— J G  Kansas City

About Our Name

Many people ask about our name. One of my wife's friends even asked her if I made guitars from any other wood besides Dogwood! For those familiar with the Dogwood tree, this brings a chuckle since this flowering beauty attains only a small size… … [Read More...]
