Bruce Petros Guitars

You will only find Bruce Petros' guitars in a select few US dealers, the kind that open by appointment only. Bruce has been making guitars since 1972, he works with his son Matt in their Workshop in Kaukauna Wisconsin making about thirty five guitars a year. These are some of the finest acoustic steel string guitars available today.

All tops are graduated and pre-stressed into a thirty foot radius, this gives incredible balance and stability. Necks are made with end to end flip matched pieces and dovetailed. Saddles a tilted backwards ten degrees so that the break angle is split and all the pressure goes down through the saddle.

Designed by Bruce and Matt to be able to handle the lightest finger picking style to the hardest flat picking this is an amazingly versatile guitar, suitable for light or medium strings. It is incredibly loud and powerful but responds to lightest touch.
