He craftsmenship is clean as can be and he has discovered a voice that is pure and sweet. We are delighted to now be a dealer for Tom Doerr guitars and for our relationship to have come this far." - Paul Heumiller

Tom Doerr Biography

Tom Doerr has been building guitars since 2001. His interest in building guitars was first sparked when he ordered a guitar from Bill Wise of Charis Acoustic. While Bill was in the process of building a guitar for Tom, Tom decided that he would try to build his own. After completing his first guitar, it was evident that Tom had a talent for luthiery. After building a few more guitars, he decided that he wanted to develop his own design, which is now his Legacy Select.

God has blessed Tom with a talent and passion for building guitars. God as also provided Tom with some individuals (see acknowledgments) that have been very instrumental in his quick progress. One of these individuals is Bill Wise, who has been very gracious in assisting Tom and providing him with helpful information.

Tom’s goal is to produce a guitar that has deep, rich bass, and vibrant trebles, with good volume, but not overbearing. His guitars has been designed to suit a finger-style guitarist, but its versatility is not limited to this genre. His guitars are also well suited for other music styles.

If you are looking for a handcrafted acoustic, Tom would love to talk to you. He will personally work with you to create your dream guitar.
