Caledonia Guitars When you're ready for a custom guitar that is perfectly-tailored to your needs: playing style, tonal preferences and aesthetics; you're ready for a Caledonia guitar. Visit Caledonia Guitars Web site.

Caledonia is a true custom shop, producing a limited number of instruments matched to the players exact specifications. We offer three basic steel-string models, with nearly infinite variations. Body shape, cutaway style, back & side wood, soundboard wood, binding, bracing, decorative inlay or carving, scale length, nut width, neck profile and sound reinforcement are only some of the options available to the player. We work with you to find the ideal combination of options to meet your needs

We build with only the finest-grade solid wood, respecting endangered or threatened exotic species. We assemble each guitar with painstaking hand tool work and hide glue. Our signature finish is a beautiful and durable hand-applied French polish, which we believe imparts the best combination of tonal quality, dazzling beauty, durability and flawless ease of repair.

Caledonia Guitars offers four basic classical and two flamenco models, with (again) nearly limitless possibilities for customization. In addition to the options listed for steel string guitars, our custom trademarked bracing patterns and hand-made rosettes are also available.

True left-handed models are available for all styles, and all guitars come standard with a soundhole hygrometer and a limited lifetime guarantee.

We also produce, by special order only, a very small number of other stringed instruments. Recent commissions include a Celtic harp, hammer dulcimer, Appalachian lap dulcimer, bouzouki, bowed psaltry, and F-style mandolin. We specialize in reconstructing rare or historical period instruments, with great attention paid not only to materials, but period building methods as well.

Caledonia offers a comprehensive repair and restoration service from the simplest adjustment to complete rebuilding and finish restoration. We are highly qualified both as professional working musicians ourselves, and from extensive training both in the United States and abroad.

In short, it is our mission to listen to the player's needs and provide expert technical and artistic assistance to produce the perfect custom instrument.
