McAlister Guitars has spent decades researching many original examples, as well as the past 80+ years of advancements, to reproduce the iconic guitar models from the 20’s through the 40’s. These are the designs that defined the golden age of American flat top guitars.

“There’s no question, I would not be hand-building guitars today if it weren’t for the guitars of yesterday. I owe a lot to those vintage guitars and the people who created them”
