Preston Thompson Guitars, founded in 2013 in Sisters, Oregon, was established by Preston Thompson to recreate the pre-war Martin-style guitars he admired. Drawing from years of studying vintage instruments, he crafted guitars known for their rich, warm tones and meticulous craftsmanship.
Thompson’s expertise was recognized early, with his custom guitars awarded as prizes at National Flatpicking Championships in the 1980s. After years of restoration and custom work, he launched his brand, quickly gaining a reputation for handcrafted dreadnoughts, OMs, and 000 models played by top acoustic musicians. His legacy continues through the skilled luthiers at Preston Thompson Guitars.
