Custom Designs & Expert Repairs
Artistry Meets Innovation
With an unyielding passion for innovation, I constantly explore new techniques, materials, and design concepts. This mindset allows me to create instruments that not only sound exceptional but are also a feast for the eyes. From intricate inlays to innovative finishings, I infuse each guitar with a touch of artistic expression.
Eric Riley- Owner, Luthier
As a passionate and skilled luthier and proud owner of EMR Guitars, I consider myself to be a dedicated artisan with a commitment to producing instruments of unparalleled quality. With a focus on meticulous craftsmanship and personalized design, I strive to transform musical dreams into reality.
My journey into the world of guitar building began with a deep passion for both music and craftsmanship. I honed my skills and understanding of this art at the prestigious Guitar Program at Minnesota State College Southeast. The program's comprehensive curriculum provided me with a solid foundation in woodworking techniques, instrument construction, and design principles. This invaluable experience not only refined my skills but also deepened my appreciation for the rich history and intricate nuances of guitar making.
