LoveMaker

I want Rudder Guitars to be known as the USA Owned and Made in the USA guitar company that promotes emotional self-care and our distinctive features. Every time you see the Lovemaker on the headstock it is a reminder to check your emotional level of Love in your life. If it is low pick up your Lovemaker and play till your love level is overflowing. Now you are renewed and ready to share energized music on the sofa alone or with family, friends, or on stage. The LoveMaker headstock represents the other Rudder Guitar Models. They are JoyMaker, PeaceMaker and HopeMaker/Faith. The large center candle represents Rudder Guitars are instruments to be used to share love, joy, peace, and Hope/Faith with each other universally without regard to our beliefs.
