For anyone who likes the idea of buying a guitar from a small maker/luthier it must add significantly to the experience when that maker shares the process in their blog.
Ola Strandberg
Ola is in Sweden and started by building a number of guitars while working with the Swedish Charvel/Jackson distributor as a guitar technician. After a break he came back with his own brand and takes pride in building more ergonomic guitars. Read more in his blog.

Ben Crowe, Crimson Guitars
Ben is based in the UK and every one of his instruments is handbuilt from scratch. He shares each build using twitter – http://twitter.com/CrimsonGuitars. His main site is here and he also offers guitar building workshops.

The third site/blog is not that of an individual maker – instead it brings together “Plans, tips, and techniques for designing and building innovative acoustic and electric stringed instruments.”
Ola Strandberg is featured along with Rick Toone, Mark Frith and Rick Canton.
Hope you enjoy those – many more out there, let us know in the comments and we will feature them here.
