Oren Myers – Guitar Maker

From Literature to Guitar Making

Oren Myers studied English Literature at university and later recalled a brief desire during his school years to build a guitar. After finishing his studies, he converted his parents’ garage into a workshop and began learning the craft from a book. Luthier Christopher Dean supported him by selling him wood and offering help whenever needed – an offer Oren made frequent use of.

Inspiration from Romanillos

After building several instruments, Oren attended a course with José Romanillos in Spain. This memorable experience deepened his understanding of wood selection, construction techniques, and the focused tonal concept of a master luthier.

Craft, Music, and Returning to His Passion

For Oren, guitar making uniquely combines music, craftsmanship, and artistic design. After deciding as a teenager not to pursue formal guitar studies, lutherie became a meaningful way for him to return to the world of music.

Gradual Evolution Toward an Ideal Sound

His early guitars followed traditional building methods. Since then, Oren has refined his instruments through very small adjustments to wood thicknesses and body dimensions – never more than one or two variables per guitar. His goal is a balanced sound with liveliness, projection, clarity, warmth, sweetness, and depth.
