Built For The Player
Playing and building guitars has been my life and my passion for over 45 years. From the first guitar I built in 1978, and now hundreds of guitars later, I build each guitar as if it were my own. The
archtop
guitar
is
a
work
of
art
in
my
eyes
, and
is
my
favorite
guitar
to
build
and
design
. Designing
and building guitars with my clients, and hearing them played, is still one of the most rewarding experiences of
my
life
. My handmade American Archtop Guitars, for which I have received worldwide critical acclaim, are built for the player. Guitars can be custom ordered and I am always available to discuss your personal preferences. I am president and owner of American Archtop Guitars. All my instruments are built in Nazareth, Pa. USA

So---I mean this, Dale---it is a real privilege to play the guitar you made. It’s got my heart and I'll give it my soul every time I play it. Always my best to you,"
-Howard DeHoff
