Michael Spalt is one of the few Custom Electric Guitar Luthiers who managed to receive a high reputation among professional guitar players and guitar collectors alike. His Totem Guitars are as close as you can get to an artwork with a functional electric guitar. His line of Hybrid guitars are only rivaled by the Teuffel Birdfish.

Austria-born Michael Spalt talks about his Custom Electric Totem Guitars, resin tops and his sources of inspiration.

Hi there, nice site with good info. I really like coming back here often. There’s only one thing that annoys me and that is the misfunctioning of comment posting. I usually get to 500 error page, and have to do the post twice.
