Rooted in traditional building techniques, my guitars incorporate modern materials and innovations that accommodate better playability, more reliable performance, and improved intonation. Specializing in fanned-fret ®* 7 and 8 string guitar construction, Wes Lambe Guitars are premium quality instruments handmade in Chapel Hill, NC. USA.
Not only are my instruments crafted with my experiences as a professional instrument builder, and my experience running and owning various repair shops, but my designs also incorporate my experiences as a performing musician.

 In addition to guitar building and repair, I have been a professional sound man, played in various bands with             various styles, currently playing in The Guns of el Borracho!. Also currently the head Luthier for The Music Loft in Carrboro, NC.
