Jersey Girl Guitars: True Art

I’ve always considered the truly exceptional guitars as modern, functional art. This is clearly evident in Jersey Girl Guitars which was formed in 1991 by two luthiers in Japan, Kaz Goto & Akiko Oda. Each guitar is an art composition, and it clearly shows in their models.

Notable in their designs is the use of multiple guitar woods as a collage to form interesting patterns and shapes on the guitar body.  The compositions have a distinct Southwestern influence with a dash of Art Deco.   Visually stunning and unique in the guitar world.
