Welcome to Gonstead Guitars, fine handbuilt Resophonic Guitars

 

 

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 act as a news and informational resource, 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 something with you and for you. 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 places top priority on listening to his customers and translating the information to create an instrument that suits his or her exacting needs. This is what separates a custom builder from a large manufacturer. Commissioning an instrument is a unique journey that creates a guitar to be cherished by you, your family, and friends. The reason? It defines who you are. From the custom inlay to the type of tonewood chosen, it represents your preferences.

So, welcome to the cyber-workshop of Sven Gonstead. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy the stroll around his website.
