MACCUBBIN GUITARS

Welcome to MacCubbin Guitars. It is my pleasure to offer high-quality, custom-made acoustic guitars, from an available gallery of completed instruments and on individual commission.

My foray into the world of guitar construction has been years in the making, beginning with learning to play the guitar as a teenager, and a love of woodworking and wood finishing. I decided a number of years back to combine the two passions into a single focus, began making acoustic guitars, and MacCubbin Guitars is the result of my efforts.

I have studied with several renowned luthiers, including William Cumpiano at his Northampton, Massachusetts shop and Ervin Somogyi in Oakland, California. I owe both William and Ervin a debt of gratitude for their patience and willingness to share their knowledge, expertise, and love of guitar making with myself and others.

A special thank you to my wife, Claire, who has been so supportive of my efforts in chasing my dreams, for her patience with the long hours spent in the shop, for her understanding of those frustrating moments along the way, and for her expert photography skills.
