About Us

Acoustic Electric Strings is the creative inspiration of
Gary E. Bartig...

...designer of the Eminence Portable Upright Bass, and the Dahlia 5-String Acoustic Violin.

A respected luthier and musician with a background in electronics and sound engineering, Gary has long been searching for a superior-sounding violin pickup - one that's lightweight, unobtrusive, with little or no bow clunk. With the recent innovation of his internal, bass bar pickup installed in great sounding, affordable instruments, AcousticElectricStrings.com is off and running!

Our audio clips, recorded by Gary in our Warehouse Studio, showcase the acoustic and amplified tone of each instrument. Click here for audio clip technical details.

We ship worldwide. For US orders, we offer a one-week trial period, and are happy to send more than one instrument to expedite your decision.
