The Highline Guitar’s Osiris Standard Carve Top six string guitar offered here was made by luthier Chris Monck at his shop near the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, USA. To build his guitars, Chris relies on both CNC technology as well as traditional hand building techniques. When he isn't fabricating custom, one-of-a-kind guitars for his clients, Chris likes to make his own designs and sell them here on Reverb.
