Maguire Custom Made Guitars

The finest in custom made guitarsAbout

For two decades, I have hand-crafted each and every Maguire instrument as if it were my only chance to leave my mark on this earth.

Since the creation of each instrument is a labor-intensive endeavor, I only offer the finest tonewoods.  This requires that I regularly import wood from Australia, New Zealand and South America and cherry-pick the best pieces (whether figured or straight-grained) from each shipment. Out of every 1000 board feet of wood I import, only about 50 board feet end up as Maguire instruments. The rest is sold or traded for woods of other origin.

Because provenance matters to me, I source newly harvested tonewoods from certified sustainable-yield sawyers.  I have also painstakingly stockpiled older and legally-protected tonewoods from dwindling pre-CITES legacy sources.
