Stehr Guitars in Spokane, Washington operates as a specialized luthier workshop where craftsmanship meets artistic vision. The shop approaches guitar building and restoration as an art form, with each project guided by both sonic and visual considerations. Beyond constructing custom acoustic guitars, the luthier brings a painter’s eye to vintage guitar work, carefully preserving the character of older instruments while addressing structural and playability issues.

The workshop focuses on high-end custom builds and boutique guitar work, creating a limited number of instruments each year to ensure every project receives complete attention. This same immersive approach extends to restoration and repair work, where the luthier’s background in fine woodworking and inlay translates into meticulous fretwork and detailed guitar setup services. Each instrument repair is handled with the same precision and respect for craft that defines the shop’s custom builds.

Players and collectors work directly with the luthier throughout the process, whether commissioning a new instrument or restoring a treasured piece. The shop’s one-on-one consultation style ensures that every guitar tech service addresses the specific tonal and playability needs of the musician.
