== Thompson Guitars on PickiPedia ==
We help pickers sound great with our handcrafted guitars made in Sisters, Oregon.  The company was started by Preston Thompson and has been in existence since 2013. Preston was an individual builder in the 1980's and early 2000's and landed on making more than one guitar at a time when he teamed up with several business partners to set up what is now Thompson Guitars.

== '''How We Do It''' ==
== '''Who We Are in the Bluegrass Community''''' ==
We make around a 100 custom ordered guitars a year with an exceptionally talented crew of builders.
We help pickers sound great with our handcrafted guitars made in Sisters, Oregon.
We take time and care on each guitar from picking your guitar wood, hand carving the braces and graduating each top. Building the body and necks with precision and skill. Design and create custom inlay when requested that is outstanding. Then finish each guitar with our nitro cellulose lacquer process. The guitars final stage is with our set up crew who put the body and neck together ultimately allowing it to sing it's unique song.
 
The Sound: tone all across the strings that sing
The Playability: ease to the touch, stay in tune and be able to play for hours and hours!
The Look: top notch fit and finish that strives towards perfection
The Feel: lightness of build and liveliness of our tops
 
== '''Why We Care''' ==
Music inspires us - all of us in someway or another and we are proud to be a part of the process of making music.  We want to provide a piece of art that is playable for years to come and makes you happy when you pick it up.  Something special to pass on to your family or friends.  An instrument that was build with grace, care, heart and hope.  We treat every customer with kindness and understanding just like we ask in return.  We are human, not machines making these instrument.
We want to put out a positive vibration that reverberates from one group of players to another and from one audience to the next.
 
== '''What We Offer''' ==
We offer many different models from a Dreadnought to a Palor sized guitar.  We offer up signature models and special Master piece guitars too.
Recently we made a new model called the DMC that we are loving the sound, playabilty and comfort of it's size. Check it out at https://pktguitars.com/custom-acoustic-guitar-models/deep-modified-classical-hybrid-guitar/
