Wilborn Guitars Ben Wilborn makes fine handmade acoustic instruments in Reno, Nevada. His own unique designs are very lightly built, simply appointed guitars with an emphasis on extremely refined details and a powerful, balanced sound. Ben says, “I am constantly aware of my good fortune. I spend my days surrounded by beautiful woods, in a comfortable shop, making these challenging and exciting instruments that will be treasured and cherished long after I am gone. It’s been a curvy road to get here, but I will never take my situation for granted. I wanted to share something that reflected my gratitude to my customers, and the world in general – hence the 2017 WILS Charity Guitar Raffle. I hope it benefits many, and proves a faithful companion for whomever it finds a home with!” www.wilbornguitars.com
