STEPHEN STEVENS GUITARS
Welcome to our web site !
We want to introduce you to our guitars and invite you to look through the Gallery pictures.
Our hope is that you discover your next great guitar - right here.
This has been a fun project. A tenor guitar built to our own unique shape using grafted claro walnut.
The back on this guitar is one of the few remaining grafted claro walnut sets we have.
The other is our 16 inch jumbo pattern in claro walnut.
Then there were the two wide neck finger style instruments. One of claro walnut.
This is Australian blackwood.
These 2 mesquite guitars have 12 fret necks and smaller upper bout. The first is a true left hand version still looking for a home.
The right hand version is also available for sale.
Following are a few pictures of our most recent build - a 16 1/2" jumbo sized flat top with cut away. Take a look.
Grandfather's Walnut
One of our projects this past year was the building of 3 claro walnut flat top guitars. My Dad loved claro walnut and over the last 30 years of his life he gave me quite a lot of it. Dad made furniture for neighbors, friends and family members. Since my brother's three kids grew up right around the corner from their grand parents they have wonderful memories of Grandfather's Walnut. These three instruments will be another lasting memory of their grandfather for them. This project brought back many fond memories.
These two big leaf maple archtops were a special project for me. The wood is quite wonderful and their shapes are pleasing. Sounds are warm and full.
The design and creation of fine instruments is for us a passion. Even after over 30 years of experience we continue to look forward to each day spent in the shop and we continue to learn from each guitar we make. We are driven to produce finely crafted instruments of solid tone woods that will be an inspiration for you to play.
Here is a recent 17 1/2 inch arch top guitar featuring our overlapping top/back design. We used a very fine set of big leaf maple combined with an Italian spruce top. The sound is outstanding and the look is beautiful.
