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.
