PAUL B. PETERSEN has roots that go back four generations in the Hawaiian Islands
(Napolis Ohana of Kauai and Samonte Ohana of Maui). He is a luthier,
a stringed instrument artisan, who apprenticed under Kula master archtop guitar maker
STEPHEN GRIMES. He was head luthier of what used to be the custom production of
Nahenahe Hawaiian Ukuleles. Now, he has decided to even perfect his craft by getting into
one at a time custom, hand-made fine instruments: acoustic guitars, steel guitars and ukuleles.
Below are some of the many custom instruments he has made in the past 9 years of crafting.
He approaches his work with the highest standard of quality recognized in the guitar making industry.
This commitment to high standards comes directly from his experience, knowledge and training in both fields
of MUSIC and traditional INSTRUMENT MAKING and REPAIRING. All instruments are made
only on a custom order basis. You may send your queries through the information given above.
