My name is Karan Singh, and I have been building guitars in my workshop in India for the better part of a decade. I create unique instruments of the finest quality for discerning players and collectors.  I enjoy experimenting with domestic, sustainable species of wood to be able to expand the offerings and also bring non-traditional woods into the world of lutherie.

My primary focus is on tone and playability. These are complimented by unique and elegant aesthetics, which add a little flavour of India. On the acoustic front, my guitars are built keeping the contemporary finger-style player in mind; expect an emphasis on note separation, a big low end, fat trebles, and plenty of harmonic overtones. More recently, the offerings have expanded to include electric instruments as well.

In a country that isn’t known for luthiers, my journey has been rather adventurous.  I started out completely self taught, and as the thirst for knowledge grew, I sought out experienced luthiers around the world to study with. My construction ideology is an amalgamation of my rumination; time spent at the drawing board, experimenting with ideas, and in-depth conversations with my mentor, Jason Kostal (www.kostalguitars.com) in Arizona. 

I hope this offers you a little insight into my work philosophy, and I look forward to building you something truly special!
