Circle Strings brings over 30 years of guitar industry expertise to South Burlington, where a team of master luthiers handcrafts world-class instruments in their Burlington workshop. Founded as a sandbox for curiosity and craftsmanship, this Vermont operation has grown into a multi-brand lutherie house producing Circle, Fairbanks, and Iris guitars, each with its own distinct voice and character.

The shop’s deep understanding of instrument construction translates directly into exceptional guitar repair and restoration work. Their luthiers combine time-honored techniques with modern precision, making them particularly adept at vintage guitar work that requires both historical knowledge and skilled hands. The team’s experience building custom and boutique guitars from master-grade tonewoods means they understand the nuances of fretwork, setup, and the intricate adjustments that make an instrument truly sing.

Circle Strings also houses Allied Lutherie, a luthier supply company serving builders since the 1970s, further cementing their reputation as a comprehensive resource for everything from instrument repair to custom builds. Their collaborative approach and attention to detail ensure every guitar that passes through their hands receives the care it deserves.
