Welcome to Worland Guitars. I hand build acoustic guitars to custom specifications for musicians and living-room players who are looking for a unique instrument at a reasonable price.

I have several different models from which to choose, each of which can be built from the woods of your choice and personalized with a variety of options. Whether you desire a particular sound, custom inlays, or a completely unique instrument, I encourage you to specify exactly the guitar you want or let me guide you to it.

Worland guitars are available directly from my workshop. You talk to me and I build your guitar. Currently, the lead time for a custom instrument is 9 months, which you'll find passes quickly enough. You can obtain more information on my ordering page and on my price list page. Or check the FAQ page.

Please read my customer comments and on-line reviews and check out the article in Acoustic Guitar magazine. My goal is that you and your guitar will have a long and happy life together. I look forward to hearing from you...and building the guitar of your dreams soon.

-Jim Worland, Luthier

"In my own personal opinion from the instruments I've owned in this price range, Worlands are the best value..it's simply nicer in many ways than my two anniversary model Taylors (and I still think they are great too) for my fingerstyle, and it makes me as happy as my custom Bourgeois." -Erik V.
