Augustino Guitar brings over 65 years of luthier expertise to Clearwater, with master craftsman Augustino LoPrinzi and Donna LoPrinzi creating instruments entirely by hand since 1958. While the shop is renowned for custom boutique guitar builds featuring steel-string and classical designs, this level of craftsmanship translates into exceptional instrument repair and setup work. The LoPrinzis’ deep understanding of tonewood properties, structural integrity, and fretwork precision means they approach each guitar repair with the same meticulous attention given to their handcrafted builds.

As true luthiers rather than simple guitar techs, Augustino and Donna work on everything from routine setups to complex structural repairs, drawing on decades of old-world techniques refined to modern standards. Their instrument repair services benefit from complete in-house capabilities, including fret dressing, neck adjustments, and finish work. The shop also crafts custom ukuleles, expanding their fretted instrument expertise across multiple disciplines. Musicians seeking boutique guitar builds or professional-level repair work will find the LoPrinzi workshop maintains the highest standards of American lutherie, with each instrument receiving personalized care from masters of the craft.
