Hewett Guitars

James Hewett Biography

James Hewett, a native Texan, began building acoustic dreadnought guitars in 1993. He is a self-taught
luthier who naturally gravitated to the craft through his love for
great acoustic instruments and his gift for working with his hands.

Today, he works full-time building custom acoustic dreadnoughts,
archtops and harp guitars -- many with intricate and detailed inlays.
In addition, he builds re-creations of Baroque and Renaissance instruments
like organistrums, symphonies, and lyres, and does full-scale repairs and
restorations for four guitar stores in the Houston area.
