Peterson Acoustic Guitars

In the beginning was the wood and wood was from God...

Thanks for visiting Hill Country Lutherie!

My name is Neil Peterson and I custom build fine handcrafted acoustic guitars here in Bandera, Texas which is known as the Cowboy Capital of the World .

I primarily build Steel string acoustic guitars, but I have and will build flat-top fiddles, violins, and mandolins. Though happy to use any of the classic tonewoods, I often feature Native Texas Mesquite and reclaimed woods in my guitars .

Mesquite back and sides with soundboards of recycled Longleaf Yellow Pine is a combination that makes a very full, well balanced sounding guitar. I call it my Lone Star Edition. I'm also using other woods native to the Texas Hill Country. Cypress for top and Hill Country Mountain Cedar for the back and sides make a nice combination which I call the Hill Country Edition. Take a look and give me a call if you have any questions. If you are looking for something unique in a great sounding guitar, I would be honored to custom build a one of a kind guitar for you.
