Armor Guitar Company handmade instruments are built one at a time and are individually hand crafted by luthier James Peters.

Attention is paid to every detail; the end result is memorable response, tone, volume, feel and overall playability.

Most Armor Guitar soundboards are salvaged from vintage grand piano spruce soundboards, and from one instrument to another often 100 years of music has passed through a brand new Armor Guitar! Visit the media page for MP3s.

Side sound ports are featured on most guitars, a player’s monitor, especially if playing next to a banjo..

I specialize in building guitars with body styles that lend themselves to a vintage style and tone. Armor Guitars also have a signature, unique headstock shape and bridge design. Tried and true traditional methods of construction give a solid look, feel, sound and playability to all Armor Guitar Company instruments.
I still provide specialized acoustic instrument repair, please see repair link for more information if you have a cherished or high value instrument that is in need of experienced repair.

With 35-years plus of experience as a semi-professional musician, songwriter and veteran of the musical stage, I am well aware of what to look, feel and listen for in a musical instrument.

I am highly communicative so feel free to email or call to get the ball rolling!
