Michael Sherman
Welcome to Sherman Guitars.
Sherman Guitars is owned and operated by veteran luthier Michael Sherman, with over 32 years of experience building custom made instruments, as well as an engineering backround.
Prior to opening Sherman Guitars, Mike worked in the Custom Shops for Hohner, Hamer, Dean, Ovation, and Washburn Guitars.
Working for these companies allowed Mike to develop his craft, as well as relationships with major artists.
We are not your average guitar company here. I like to think of it as a "Custom Shop Guitar Company". "One-off's" are our specialty. We have been building muti-scale and multi-stringed instruments for several years. I like instruments that challenge your mind, both from a design and creative standpoint.
Each instrument is carfully handcrafted to my extremely strict standards. I build each one as if it were my own personal instrument. If it's not good enough to be one of my personal instruments, it`s not good enough for my customers. If it has my name on it, it needs to be perfect!
Here at Sherman guitars, only the finest seasoned hardwoods are used. We are constantly purchasing wood that immediately enters into our kiln for 6 weeks, and then seasoned for another two years before working it. This allows us to keep a log on the movement, and natural stresses in the wood. It needs to pass stringent guidelines before it is selected for your instrument.
Our instruments are finished with 12 coats of labor intensive Poloyurethane/laquer mixture for the depth and clarity. All of our colors are mixed in house, so custom one-off colors are obtainable.
Obviously, we do not offer the cheapest instruments in the world. I try to keep the prices as low as possible, and it's important that the customer gets more than they paid for.
Let Sherman Guitars turn your dream instrument into reality. Feel free to contact me to discuss the possibilities of your dream instrument.
