Welcome

Hello, my name is Shad Peters and I’m the craftsman behind Peters Instruments. From the time I could swing a hammer I have been working with wood and as I’ve grown up the good Lord has given me a passion for music and creating things with my hands.

I built my first guitar when I was 15 years old and over the years since then I’ve learned that there is no substitute for the workmanship, dedication, and attention to detail that bring a handmade guitar to life.

For this reason I adhere to time-tested techniques like hand carving each neck and archtop from rough sawn lumber.

Hello! Welcome to the official home page of Peters Instruments, where original, creative concepts become reality. Customized guitars are my focus. As a luthier I build each guitar from the ground up, investing time, patience and dedication to my calling. This investment yields a trully custom guitar that only hand-crafting can achieve. Everything is tailored specifically to fit the needs and wants of the individual. Whatever you want your guitar to be, I can make it happen. On this website you’ll find photos and audio clips of guitars and other instruments I have crafted. You can also see some of my work in progress, and visionary designs pulled from my sketchbook. Please have a look around, and if you like what you see let me know-I am always up for new projects.
Thanks for visiting, and for your interest in keeping the craft of luthiery alive. Thank you & God bless!
