Recommended Luthiers in the US Hello! I’m really interested in getting a classical guitar. I’ve looked at most of the factory made offerings and am really interested in a good luthier.
Does anyone have any recommendations? If it helps I’m in the NY/NJ area.
Thanks again!

Depending on what style you’re looking for, that’s an extremely open-ended question. Plus there are many high level luthiers in the U.S. That being said, David Pace in the Baltimore area is among the best. If you haven’t already, go to a store specializing in classical guitars. They will have a substantial selection of guitars to try out ranging from student to concert level. Savage Classical Guitar on Long Island is definitely notable. The Classical Guitar Store in Philly and the customer oriented service Bill provides is incredible—that’s speaking from personal experience.
