Vinnie Cacciotti

Growing up in upstate NY and working for my father in his machine shop gave me the skills and knowledge that somehow led me to lutherie. I first became interested when I inherited an old Gibson guitar from my father that needed to be restored — and that did it, I was hooked. In 2019, I started teaching myself how to do repairs on every broken guitar I could get my hands on. Then, in 2023, I landed a position at LA Guitar Repair, where I spent two years gaining experience, learned from a master luthier, and worked in a fast-paced, busy shop. Now I work primarily for myself in my home shop.
