Since building his first guitars in Austin, Texas over 50 years ago, Ed Claxton continues to refine and perfect his craft and further develop the prototypes that he built in those formative years. His main objective is centered around the tone and playability of his instruments, and his designs reflect his attitude that “less is more”.
