Since 1970 Oskar Graf has been designing and building stringed instruments for an exclusive and appreciative group of musicians. Oskar’s extensive knowledge and dedication to his art are reflected in the creation of his guitars.

Raised and educated in Berlin, he apprenticed as a cabinetmaker and studied design. In 1968 he moved to Canada and after a short stay in Toronto settled near Clarendon, Ontario. Here in the quiet of the Canadian Shield he designed and built his home and luthier’s workshop. Oskar started with simple folk instruments but soon moved to the more challenging construction of classical and steel string guitars. To date Oskar has single-handedly built over 400 guitars and is internationally known for his exceptional instruments.
