Hoffman Guitars

Hoffman Guitars are made in Minneapolis by Charles Hoffman. Charlie is one of the best-regarded handbuilders around, having started in the 1970s. (He'd be a much more widely known name had he not limited his guitar-building in the 1980s and '90s while putting his kids through college.) We offered his guitars in the early years of Spruce Tree Music and are pleased to again be on his short-list of dealers. You can read more about Charlie in the January 2003 issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine.

We have a couple of spectacular instruments from Charlie. Custom orders currently have a delivery time of about nine months.
