Bischoff Guitars

After studying performance on saxophone and guitar in the University of Wisconsin system, Gordon Bischoff proceeded to receive training in violin repair in 1974 at Redwing Technical College, Redwing, MN. Using the skills and techniques from that training and incorporating every bit of printed material available on the subject he went on to pursue his true interest...guitars. His career has been made up of three components. The first is the actual design and development of his handmade guitars. The second has been his ongoing enjoyment and pursuit of guitar repair. The third is the 15 years he spent as a professional musician. "I believe that the combination of all three of these disciplines has helped me to make a better guitar." says Bischoff. "My annual production is small and allows me to give the customer a rare opportunity to have input in the making of their instrument. For me this collaboration can be as satisfying as building the guitar itself."
