About


Scott Ackley learned the art of woodworking from his father and inherited a love of music from his grandfather.  Growing up in Portland, Oregon he spent many happy days in his father's workshop as well as countless hours pursuing his interest of playing guitar.  In 1979 these two passions coalesced when Scott finished building his first acoustic guitar.  His creativity and enthusiasm soon led him to design and build electric guitars as well. 

Ackley guitars are of the highest quality and incorporate the only finest materials. Beyond the aesthetics, the feel and playability of Ackley guitars are unmatched, and the sound quality second to none.
