About the brand
After forty years of building premium solid body electric guitars and basses, Stuart Spector has started his journey handcrafting acoustic instruments.
Esopus Guitars, named after a favorite local fishing stream, are handcrafted by Stuart in his new one-man workshop in upstate New York.
Stuart’s long time friend and business partner PJ Rubal is handling instrument sales.
A full line of acoustic and acoustic/electric guitars and basses is planned. Each instrument is hand signed and numbered by Stuart.
No more than fifty instruments are completed annually at the workshop.

“I have spent most of my life making electric guitars and basses. The last 3 years I have devoted myself to setting up for building acoustic instruments. This has been a journey of discovery, exploring new challenges to build the best sounding and playing guitars possible.
In this world of disposable products it is a genuine privilege to be able to build guitars that will give joy to current and future generations. Every time I string up a new one, I’m inspired by the magic of strings vibrating wood to produce the heavenly tones that first made me fall in love with guitars. I look forward to building an Esopus Guitar for you soon”.
