Multi-gold/platinum album and Dove award winning Christian singer-songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman

"The Shaw Thinline guitar is amazing. It stays in tune so well. It plays great! It sounds great! It looks great! Shaw guitars are solid, well produced products because each one is a labor of love. Rick Shaw puts his time, care, and expression in every one of his "babies." And trust me, when you strap one on and plug it in.....you can tell!!"

Testimonials

Austin based recording artist and performer Bret Boyer has this to say about his Shaw Custom Lap Steel:

"I absolutely love my new lap steel guitar! It is truly a work of art while maintaining the sturdy functionality of an instrument built to be played.
The design reflects the classic archtops that I love so much, yet you've incorporated a modern perspective into the design. It's that blend of historic and modern -- looking forward while staying aware of the past -- that gives the Shaw Lap Steel its beauty and strength."

"The wood is stunning -- take-your-breath-away stunning -- but it's the craftsmanship that truly holds my attention. All the functional details give this instrument a elegant, classic look and feel.
The huge, rich tone that contains both electric and acoustic properties combines with an unbelievable sustain to result in a guitar that sounds like no other I've played. The Shaw Lap Steel is an incredibly beautiful and inspiring instrument.
Each time I play your guitar I think about how it came to be, and how fortunate I feel to have been involved in the process. I really can't thank you enough for this instrument and the spirit behind it."
