Seaton Guitars is the workshop of Dave Seaton, a skilled luthier operating in the heart of Grand Marais, Minnesota.

The shop handles everything from basic guitar setups and fretwork to more complex structural repairs and restorations. Dave’s approach combines traditional lutherie techniques with a problem-solving mindset honed through years of instrument building. His familiarity with different woods, bracing patterns, and construction methods allows him to diagnose issues accurately and execute repairs that respect the instrument’s original design.

Located on Hungry Jack Road, the shop welcomes players by appointment, giving each instrument the focused attention it deserves.
