Instruments currently produced. Previously produced in Portland, OR, and in Santa Monica, CA.

Luthier Rob Ehlers first started building acoustic guitars in 1968. His first guitars were built in Santa Monica, CA with Ren Ferguson of Gibson fame. In 1971, he moved to Portland, OR and continued to produced various sized acoustic guitars. In 1973, Bruce Burns came to work with Rob and they later developed the 15 1/2 cutaway model, which was smaller than a dreadnought but bigger than a 000. Ehlers moved to Mexico circa 2000, where he continues to build guitars one at a time. In 2005, his brother began working with him and along with one other employee they build about 45-50 guitars per year. No CNC or mass-porduction equipment is used during construction. Models start at $4,000, and Ehlers has a new line of guitars that start at $3,200. For more information, visit Ehlers' website or contact him directly (see Trademark Index).
