Pearl River Guitars and Ukulele's

EXPERIENCE THE EXCEPTIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP OF PEARL RIVER GUITARS

With more than half a century of perfecting the design and production of the world’s best-selling pianos, the luthiers at Pearl River sought to create a series of acoustic guitars worthy of their name.

Pearl River guitars have been receiving outstanding reviews from some of Nashville’s most noted players and songwriters. As Keith Burns, a founding member of the platinum-selling group Trick Pony commented:

“The moment I picked up a Pearl River guitar, I knew that it was going out on the road with me! Amazing tone, perfect feel, and extremely easy on the eyes! Pearl River will be on the stage with me from now on!”

The creation of a Pearl River guitar is a meticulous and intricate process that begins with the careful selection of woods chosen for their unique tonal qualities, resonance, and aesthetic appeal. The top is carefully crafted to achieve the perfect balance between strength and flexibility, allowing it to vibrate and resonate harmoniously. Inside, the bracing is meticulously positioned to enhance the instrument’s response and projection.

The assembly of the guitar’s body is a labor-intensive task in which the back and sides are expertly bent and shaped, ensuring optimal sound projection and playability. The neck is crafted with precision, and the fretboard is meticulously leveled and fitted to ensure accurate intonation across the entire instrument.

The finishing touches are crucial in both the aesthetic appeal and sound quality. The body is meticulously sanded and polished to bring out the natural beauty of the wood. Throughout the entire process, each Pearl River guitar is continually tested and adjusted to achieve the perfect balance of tone, playability, and responsiveness. The result is an exquisite instrument that captivates the senses, producing rich, resonant tones that inspire musicians and enchant their listeners.

“I’ve played and owned many guitars and this one shines among the best! I love the tone; it’s warm, yet clean and crisp and has sustain for days. The workmanship and finish are excellent, and I can’t wait to record with it and play it in my live shows. Great job Pearl River!” ~ Russ Roberts
