Welcome to Willer Custom Instruments. I’m Chuck Willer, the builder of Willer guitars and mandolins. Each instrument is built upon the legacy of craftsmanship learned from my brother, father and grandfather and shares the same attention to detail that they employed in building custom cabinets and homes. I was infected with the love of wood, working side by side with those family members. There was immense satisfaction in learning to read the grain of a beautiful slab of walnut, painstakingly sanding raised oak paneling for a beautiful library, or buffing out the last coats of varnish on a customer’s new dining room table around which they would gather their family for years
I have recently completed instruments in preparation for the Newport Guitar festival in Hollywood Florida. The guitar shown above is quilted mahogany with Ebony binding. I am also building a Mandocello on this same format using a match set of sonic sitka. I look forward to seeing you at the Newport Guitar Festival (www.NewportGuitarFestival.com).
Sincerely,
Chuck Willer
