Welcome to the workshop of Oskar Graf

Maker of fine Classical, Acoustic and Archtop guitars since 1970

In his small workshop near Clarendon, Oskar Graf has been designing and building hand-crafted stringed instruments for an exclusive and appreciative group of musicians. Oskar's extensive knowledge and dedication to his art are reflected in the creation of his custom hand built guitars.

From the Workshop

My new workshop is completed. It's much smaller than my Clarendon shop, just a converted garage, but functions well enough for building a few guitars.

The new workshop in Westport

Over the last years I've built just two guitars a season, mainly orders but also to replace instruments from my Collection. The latest guitar was a Cut-away in Zirikote with a cedar top for Toronto guitarist Jason Fowler.
