 CURBOW | | Instruments previously built in Morgantown, GA between 1994 and 2008. | Luthier Greg Curbow studied electronics and drafting in the 1970s and 1980s. He opened Midnight Music in Atlanta when he was 23. In 1988, he did some emergency tech work for Jimmy Page when he performed in Atlanta. Curbow was then hired to be Page's guitar tech for the rest of the tour. Curbow then opened Curbow String Instruments. In the mid-1990s, they were selling over 100 instruments a year. Currently they produce significantly less so they can focus on building guitars for specific players. Greg Curbow died of a brain tumor on August 13, 2005. Luthier Doug Somervell is now the main builder for Curbow.
Curbow basses and guitars are hand-crafted directly at the Curbow workshop in the North Georgia mountains. Curbow also has the Curbow School of Lutherie to teach and instruct the art of building, repairing, and restoring guitars. Currently, the status of Curbow instruments is unknown.
