Instruments — Paul McEvoy Guitars

7-String Multiscale

A nylon-string, fanned-fret 7-string — one of the more technically ambitious instruments I've built.

A Selmer-style build with a bright, natural spruce top, photographed at my bench under the studio windows.

Bookmatched walnut back and sides with dramatic dark grain striping, paired with a warm amber-toned top.

Another Selmer-style build, named for the granadillo I used on the back and sides.

A traditional slotted-headstock classical guitar with a hand-inlaid rosette around the soundhole.

A Selmer-style archtop finished in a one-of-a-kind indigo-blue stain.

A smaller-bodied steel-string with maple back and sides, photographed against Portland's brick stairwells.

Walnut sides against a mahogany neck, with hand-finished heel joinery. Build No. 22.

An earlier walnut build, natural top, photographed on the studio stairwell.

Every instrument starts with the instrument I most want to make next — reach out and let's talk.
