About Kostal Guitars
Kostal Guitars come out of Princeton, British Columbia — a one-builder shop run by Jason Kostal, building a small handful of guitars per year for a multi-year wait list. The work carries one of the most direct Somogyi lineages in modern boutique acoustic guitar making: Jason apprenticed full-time under Ervin Somogyi for thirty months in Oakland, and the signature Mod-D — Modified Dreadnought — is a Somogyi-derived design he has spent the years since refining in his own direction. Each guitar is built one at a time, voiced and dialed to a client's commissioned spec. Base models start at $26,000 before tonewood upgrades, with figured Brazilian and Madagascar runs adding into five figures. Hoffee cases, Gotoh 510 tuners, a Stained Glass rosette signature. The community talks about Kostal in the same conversation as Olson, Ryan, and Traugott.
