About Me

About Pawless Guitars?...hmmmm let's just keep it simple.Just imagine one person doing all the building of an acoustic guitar from scratch. There are no fancy computers to tell a router which way to go. Only the hands of the builder is running the router. Technology around here doesn't go any farther than the typical power tools you purchase at a home improvement store.The guitars are built in the tradition of the instruments made in the 1930s. The necks are glued to the box with a dove-tailed joint. Each Pawless is different due to being built in the method of "free form". That means it's not a "cookie cutter" operation. Each component is made to "work" with the particular guitar. A bridge on one Pawless dreadnaught is different from the bridge on the next.They are different simply put. Each is an individual. Each Pawless is even different from every other Pawless. The only thing in common with all of them has been "it sounds good".There is a website at www.pawless.com
