A LEGACY REBORN

One of the most revered names in archtop guitar history, reborn for the modern player.Founded in Boston in 1906, Stromberg Guitars began with master craftsman Charles A. Stromberg building banjos and drums—instruments shaped by expert woodworking and acoustic detail. When his son Elmer joined the workshop in the 1910s, their focus shifted to archtop guitars, setting the stage for a new era of innovation in American luthiery.

THE BIRTH OF A BIG BAND ICON

In the 1930s and ’40s, Stromberg guitars became known for their size and tonal clarity. Engineered specifically for the demands of big band jazz. Their breakthrough came with the Master 300 and Master 400 models, which featured hand-carved spruce tops and a unique single diagonal brace that offered unmatched projection and resonance.

Among the most sought-after of all rhythm guitars… a power and projection unsurpassed by any other archtop.
