Doubleday Guitars brings old-school craftsmanship to Austin’s vibrant music scene with hand-built custom electric guitars made one at a time. Luthier Walker Doubleday constructs each instrument entirely by hand in his South Austin workshop, from carving necks and threading truss rods to winding pickups to exact specifications. The shop’s philosophy of “making ’em like they used to” means using premium materials, all-nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, and meticulous attention to detail that results in instruments built to last a lifetime.

Beyond custom boutique guitar builds, Doubleday Guitars offers professional repair services and expert setups for players seeking precision work. The same hands-on expertise that goes into building custom instruments translates to comprehensive guitar repair, fretwork, and electronics modifications. Each guitar leaves the shop properly set up and ready to perform, backed by the exacting standards of a true craftsman who understands what players need from their instruments. For Austin musicians looking for a luthier who combines traditional building techniques with modern performance requirements, Doubleday Guitars delivers both custom creations and reliable repair work.
