Los instrumentos de Michael Spalt representan la esencia del oficio artesanal de construcción de guitarras. Una herramienta sencilla deviene en obra de arte vivo, sin jamás perder su esencia como instrumento musical. Conjugando su amplia experiencia como constructor con sus antecedentes artísticos, las TOTEMGUITARS son ahora el núcleo de su trabajo. Son instrumentos únicos, con una calidad sonora y  comodidad supremas, que usan el cuerpo del instrumento como el lienzo en una composición en collage.

Nunca limitado a un solo estilo, Michael construye una amplia variedad de guitarras y continuamente impulsa las fronteras de su arte.

Michael Spalt’s instruments represent the essence of the artisanal craft of guitar building. A simple tool becomes a unique piece of liveable art, while never loosing sight of its essential quality as musical instrument. Merging his wide range of experience as a builder with his background in art, his core work became the TOTEMGUITARS. These are unique instruments of supreme tonal quality and playability, using the body as canvas for his collage art.

But never one to be confined to only one style, he builds a wide variety of guitars and continuously pushes the boundaries of his craft.
