Hand Crafted

Each Showalter guitar is hand made with care and attention to detail in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. The wood is hand selected from native timbers, milled onsite, and crafted into fine instruments that will not go unnotcied. Each guitar is a unique blend of figured wood and built to inspire with unique looks and full, traditional sounds.

Designed for tone and playability

From the first chord, you can feel the precision and purpose in every Showalter. Responsive tops, carefully tuned bracing, and premium components work together to deliver a clear, open voice with rich sustain and projection. Each neck is hand-carved for comfort and speed, giving you effortless playability whether you’re performing on stage or Sunday afternoon picking on the front porch.

Built to Last

Every Showalter is a testament to American craftsmanship—durable, musical, and made to age gracefully. The finish is thin and natural, allowing the wood to breathe and resonate freely. Hardware and setup are dialed in by hand, ensuring reliable performance for decades of playing. These aren’t guitars meant to sit in a case—they’re built to be played, loved, and passed on.
