Welcome to Curran Guitars
"Buck sent me his prototype Butterfly model to check out for a month or so and I was blown away. It is probably the most clear and balanced concert sized steel-string guitar I have heard in years. What I especially like is that despite the richness of overtones, the guitar still speaks the fundamental loud and clear. The feel, fit, finish, and overall quality of workmanship are also nearly flawless. The Butterfly will most certainly be the next steel-string acoustic guitar I buy for my collection." -Rob Eberhard Young http://www.robeberhardyoung.com/
"I fell in love with it. It's a gorgeous instrument, and I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know it and learning from it."
I've been playing a Taylor jumbo (an 815) as my main performance instrument since the late Eighties, and I've spent all that time convinced, for a number of reasons, that the Jumbo was the best body size and style for me. So, I was a bit surprised to find myself bringing home the OM last summer. Holding it in my hands and playing it, the guitar felt so delicate in comparison to my old warhorse Taylor. I spent a couple of months with the OM before bringing it on a gig, and I was thoroughly smitten with it as a live performance instrument. I've since been using it on some studio stuff, and it's a truly wonderful all-round instrument with a lovely, full voice and a sweetly delicate feel. Thanks for creating such a wonderful instrument. I feel privileged to call it my own! Best, Eric Garrison http://www.ericgarrison.net/
I currently live in the beautiful state of Maine with my wife and our two children. I proudly work fulltime as a member of Dana Bourgeois’ crew at Pantheon Guitars. My time away from Pantheon is devoted to building my own acoustic guitars, giving music lessons, and being a husband and father. As well, I write, record, and perform my own music, research and write about historic and modern guitars. This site is about my history with the guitar and the instruments that I build. My goal is to build truly unique and sonorous guitars. Please send me an email if you have an interest in one of my guitars or have any general questions. Thanks for visiting!
