Beckwith Strings serves the Central Massachusetts music community with expert luthier services and handcrafted stringed instruments. Founded by Steve Beckwith, the shop has built a reputation for creating custom guitars, mandolins, and ukuleles that deliver the tonal qualities musicians can’t find in factory-made instruments. With over one hundred handcrafted instruments to his credit, Beckwith brings decades of lutherie expertise to every project.

The Grafton workshop offers comprehensive guitar repair and setup services for all stringed instruments. From standard maintenance like fretwork and adjustments to complete restorations, the shop handles instruments with the same careful attention given to custom builds. Musicians from Worcester, Shrewsbury, Westborough, and surrounding communities rely on Beckwith Strings for both routine guitar tech work and specialized instrument repair.

The shop specializes in custom and boutique guitar builds, working closely with players to craft instruments tailored to their specific needs. This combination of repair expertise and custom building knowledge allows Beckwith Strings to approach each instrument with a builder’s understanding of construction and tone. The shop operates by appointment and hosts monthly jam sessions for the local music community.
