Voicing the top
Bracing, stiffness, mass, and the search for a responsive soundboard.
Handcrafted acoustic guitars
Built for touch, tone, and the quiet details.
Small-shop acoustic guitars shaped one at a time — pairing expressive woods, refined craftsmanship, and a modern fingerstyle voice.
Churchill Street Guitars is a personal luthiery project focused on responsive, elegant acoustic instruments — built slowly, carefully, and without compromise.
