Located  near the town center of Grafton, MA., Beckwith Strings handcrafts acoustic instruments and provides a repair and maintenance service for most stringed instruments. A Guild of American Luthiers member, Steve Beckwith has handcrafted over fifty acoustic guitars to address the need of musicians unable to find the exact sound and playability they required – but could not find – from companies mass manufacturing high-end instruments.   The guitars, known for their balanced tone, lightness of weight and playability, are available in a variety of sizes and tone woods.
