ARI SHEEHAN.

Ari Sheehan, Irish-born guitarist and luthier, crafts his guitars in his home town village of Crosshaven, County Cork. Set to the backdrop of scenic Irish south coast.

He has been building custom ordered acoustic guitars for discerning players in Ireland and abroad for 15 years. As an accomplished guitarist himself, he was always intrigued by how guitars were made and so set out to build his own.

Beginning with arch-tops, a personal favorite of his, he moved on to building electric guitars, bass guitars and eventually found his passion in the acoustic flat top guitar.

Outside of his builds, Ari enjoys restoring and repairing other players’ instruments and regularly gigs his own creations.


“I take great joy in building my clients their dream instruments. Everything I have learned as both a player and a luthier is transferred tonally and aesthetically to all my guitars. That’s the heart and soul of Sheehan Guitars.” – Ari Sheehan
