ED SCHAEFER

There is something to be said for a well-crafted, hand made guitar. Straight from Austin, Texas comes Schaefer fine custom guitars. The quality of the build is evident in every aspect of this beautiful archtop. There is an abundance of classic sound and feel.

Ed Schaefer started Schaefer Archtops in 1995 and, apparently, has never looked back. While you may not recognize his name in the archtop world, his guitars rival some of the finest boutique instruments out there. Ed is not only a builder, he is a teacher and gigging jazz musician, so he is invested in making his guitars for the player. We are incredibly impressed with this guitar.
