Nestled in the heart of West-Hills, California, Shabat Guitars is a small, dedicated company where craftsmanship meets passion. Founded by Avi Shabat, a luthier with a deep-rooted love for music and woodworking and an all-round nice guy, every guitar is a master built level guitar, meticulously handmade by Avi and his skilled artisans who pour their hearts into each instrument. With a focus on quality and attention to detail, Shabat Guitars creates guitars like the Lion, The Lynx and the Panther that resonate with character and warmth, making them not just tools for musicians but cherished companions in their creative journeys. Where the larger brands are at a point where they are mass manufacturing so-called ‘Custom Shop’ Guitars. Avi’s vision ensures that premium materials and traditional techniques are used, guaranteeing that every guitar is a unique masterpiece.
