Welcome to the land of Artavox!

Artavox is the brainchild of Art Abrahams, an independent luthier on a mission to re-engineer the guitar for the next millennium. “Traditional” methods of guitar building and design are carefully scrutinized as to ‘why’ its done that way:

Is it done for convenience?

Is it a limitation of current (or past) technology, materials or knowledge?

Is it really the best way?

At Artavox, the builder works with you. The creation of your ultimate axe is a collaboration, allowing you as much, or as little input as you want.
