McElroy Guitars

I am a self taught luthier and began building in 1995. I have been a serious student of the various schools of thought, it fascinates me, and I never stop learning. But, I am more of an intuitive rather than a scientific builder. As I build each guitar I am responding to the unique qualities of the woods selected. Through the years – and I hope there will be many more to come – I focus foremost on the voice of the guitar to achieve a tone that is rich and balanced, strong bass response, fat trebles and a good mid-range to fill out the overall sound. It’s the tone that is pleasing to my ears.
