Meet the Luthier: Gage Halland Gage Halland is the founder and master luthier behind Halland Guitars, based in Livingston, Montana. A lifelong musician, Gage transformed his early passion for playing the guitar into a relentless pursuit of bespoke acoustic craftsmanship. Driven by an obsessive, "always make it better" mentality, Halland actively sought out the highest levels of luthier education. His foundational years were shaped by observing legendary builder John Greven, followed by a life-changing, two-year master apprenticeship under Michael Greenfield in Montreal. Today, Halland builds instruments that represent the perfect marriage of world-class, traditional tutelage and modern acoustic innovation. By applying his own theories on sound production to correct the inherent deficiencies of traditional acoustic elements, he crafts instruments that are structurally flawless, acoustically superior, and possess a tone and design that are instantly recognizable as a Halland guitar.
