James W. Murphy constructs arch top guitars in a small shop based in Fenton, Michigan. The instruments are custom made, meticulously built to meet the client's tonal and aesthetic preferences.
James' work as a luthier marries his love of music with 40 years of experience as a high-end architectural wood worker.
In James' words, "Building guitars by hand takes an incredible amount of time and focus. It's all worth its though, the moment I hand the instrument to the musician and hear them play the first chord.
