Located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Luthier Brian Hawkins has been building and repairing fine handmade guitars and stringed instruments since 1997. His experience as a guitar builder, tone wood vendor, his understanding of tone wood properties and his attention to detail are all evident in every fine hand crafted guitar produced at Hawkins Guitar. His relentless quest for tone, beauty and sound is the foundation of his craft.
Hawkins Brazilian Rosewood Rebuild
Whether you purchase a Hawkins Guitar, or attend the luthier school, you get hand selected aged and air dried Tone Wood and a customized guitar built around you and your playing style. Hawkins Handmade Guitars are the professionals choice for set ups, repairs, luthier school and the best hand made guitars in Hampton Roads from Norfolk to Chesapeake to Virginia Beach and beyond. From here you go everywhere! Although each and every guitar is pristine and eye popping, we build for sound as our primary focus. With our own proprietary bracing system (AKA The Hawkins Guitar Bracing System) developed to even the tension throughout the acoustic guitar body, our guitars are light, very strong, loud, balanced and full of life.
We also specialize in professional Guitar Repair with a full service repair facility, a one on one Guitar Building School as well as an ever growing, not so usual, music store experience serving Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton, Newport News, Yorktown, Williamsburg, Smithfield, Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland and all of the eastern region.
