Craftmanship Built on Experience

Brian Deckebach has worked as a full-time luthier for over 25 years, building handmade guitars and basses from the finest materials available. Each instrument reflects a commitment to craftsmanship, precision, and tone.

You can explore available models and current inventory online. Most instruments are offered on an “as-made” basis, and custom orders are always welcome.

Del Toro Guitars also provides comprehensive repair and setup services for all types of fretted instruments. Standard setup and light technical work typically have a turnaround time of 2–5 days, depending on workload. Some minor services may be completed while you wait.

For more extensive repairs or restorations, appointments are recommended. Visit the Repair page for a detailed list of services.
