The Atelier Signature Series instruments are a close collaboration between Sam's Strings and guest luthiers across the USA.  Using choice tonewoods, our partner workshops build half-finished instruments, which we then send to guest luthiers to impart their creativity and artistry.  Our guest collaborators do such work has: regraduation of the plates, new bass bar, rearching the plates, customizing the f-holes, varnishing and antiquing, etc.  The idea, is to offer the end user, the opportunity to own a fine sounding instrument finished by a known maker, without the cost associated with a personal instrument.
