Welcome to Gonstead Guitars, fine handbuilt acoustic instruments

 

 

Welcome to Gonstead Guitars. The goal of this site is not only to inform you about Sven Gonstead and the fine instruments that he produces, but also create a forum for people that are dedicated to hand crafted instruments, and provide technical support for his customers.

We live in a marveling time of technological advances. Yet, what makes this era even more exciting is a regenerating appreciation for individually crafted art. There are few things more fulfilling than having an artisan create with distinction and conviction. In the case of Sven Gonstead, his craft is luthiery.

It is a wonderfully complex art that integrates form, function, and physics.

Sven strongly believes that the perfect instrument is different in everyone's mind. For this reason, he constructs instruments that pursue a plethora of tonal textures meant to inspire. From tree to finished guitar, the level of attention placed on pursuing that goal is unsurpassed. This is what separates a custom builder from a large manufacturer. So, welcome to the cyber-workshop of Sven Gonstead. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy the stroll around his website.
