Schiemann Guitars aims to make custom guitars that serve the needs of the player. I strive to provide a custom shop experience that allows players to imagine and design their dream guitar.

I live in Fuquay-Varina North Carolina - a beautiful small town outside of Raleigh that is growing by the minute – where I handcraft each guitar with precision and care. Every neck and body is shaped by hand in my home workshop, allowing me to create unique instruments that are both functional and beautiful.

I’ve always been drawn to objects that are both beautiful and functional. Before transitioning to guitar making, I spent 15 years as a ceramic artist and earned a Master of Fine Arts degree. Throughout my career, I found joy in creating objects that serve a purpose while also being works of art. Like many, I once dreamed of performing on stage with a guitar, but over time, I found myself spending more time stripping paint, refinishing, experimenting with wiring, and reconfiguring pickups than actually playing. It was during this process that I realized my true passion for the guitar lies in crafting an instrument that not only produces exceptional sound but also embodies the beauty and artistry of its design.

At Schiemann Guitars, my goal is to craft guitars that are not only playable but also heirlooms - pieces that can be passed down through generations. I want each guitar to feel both familiar and distinct, a one-of-a-kind instrument that resonates with the player. Thank you for visiting my site - I'm excited to share my work with you and help you find a guitar that will last a lifetime.
