Sam Koontz began building instruments in 1959,
and had made over 200 guitars until his passing in the early '80s.
His guitars all featured his unmistakable craftsmanship and sense of
design. He opened his own shop in Linden, N.J. ca 1970, previous to that
he was a shop foreman for the Framus guitars that were imported from
Germany,and he later designed guitars for Framus. It's said that he also
did design work for Martin Co. during this time. Most significantly
Sam took on the design and development of the Standel and Harptone guitar
lines, including the manufacturing procedures; these guitars exhibit classic
Koontz motifs. He continued to produce beautiful, unique, and often
unlike any other instrument out of his Linden shop.
