Altman Guitars: Exceptional American Lutherie
Altman Guitars is an American handcrafted lutherie brand founded by Carl Robert "Bob" Altman, master luthier based in Florida and then Georgia. For over 25 years, Altman has handmade high-end acoustic guitars and mandolins, recognized for their exceptional sound quality, incomparable playability, and the use of the finest tonewoods (Adirondack spruce, Brazilian rosewood, mahogany, cocobolo). Each instrument, produced in very limited series, is a unique piece crafted with meticulous attention to detail in the pure tradition of American lutherie.
Altman Guitars: The Excellence of American Lutherie
Founded by Carl Robert "Bob" Altman, the Altman Guitars brand embodies the quintessence of American handcrafted instrument making. Born in 1945 in Bartow, Florida, Bob Altman has dedicated more than 25 years of his life to perfecting the art of lutherie, creating high-end acoustic guitars and mandolins of exceptional quality.
Each Altman-signed instrument is entirely handmade with meticulous attention to detail and the finest tonewoods: Adirondack spruce, Brazilian rosewood, quilted mahogany, cocobolo, and many other precious species. These exceptional materials, selected with the utmost rigor, give each guitar a unique sonic personality and incomparable playability.
A Range of Exceptional Instruments
Altman Guitars' production, intentionally limited and handcrafted, includes several models of acoustic dreadnought and OM (Orchestra Model) guitars, as well as concert mandolins. Among the brand's most iconic creations are:
- Altman AD Series (AD-1, AD-2, AD-4): Adirondack spruce dreadnoughts with back and sides in rosewood, mahogany, or cocobolo, offering powerful sound projection and rich harmonics.
- Altman D Series (D-1, D-2): Traditional dreadnought style guitars, combining carefully aged woods and classic construction techniques for an authentic and warm sound.
- Altman OM-45 Deluxe: A high-end Orchestra Model, inspired by the finest achievements of vintage lutherie, combining elegance and sonic versatility.
- Altman F-5 Mandolin: An F-5 style mandolin, crafted with the same quality standards as the brand's guitars, prized by bluegrass and folk musicians.
Each instrument is assembled using traditional techniques that have proven themselves over time, ensuring exceptional sound quality and durability.
The Altman Philosophy: The Quest for Perfection
At Altman Guitars, passion is the pursuit of perfection. Bob Altman takes great pride in creating instruments that offer not only impeccable aesthetics but also optimal playing comfort and a sound that meets the demands of the most seasoned musicians.
Each guitar is the result of a long and meticulous manufacturing process. From wood selection to finishing, including bracing, assembly, and setup, every step is carried out with artisanal precision that makes all the difference. This approach explains why Altman instruments are so sought after by collectors and professional guitarists worldwide.
An Artisanal Legacy in the Heart of Florida
Initially based in Bartow, Florida, Bob Altman now continues his craft in Colbert, Georgia. His reputation as a "Master Luthier" has earned him international recognition within the community of musicians and acoustic guitar enthusiasts.
Altman Guitars' artisanal and very limited production makes each instrument a unique and coveted piece. Owning an Altman is much more than acquiring a guitar: it is coming into possession of a functional work of art, shaped by the passion and rigor of an exceptional craftsman.
Whether you are a professional musician looking for an impeccable concert instrument, a discerning collector, or an enthusiast of beautiful acoustic guitars, Altman Guitars offers you the best of American lutherie: instruments with enchanting sound, perfect feel, and timeless beauty.
