My name is Mike Grady and I operate Elite Tonewoods from a workshop at my home in West Salem. I am a graduate of the Galloup School, and I work part time as the Senior Luthier at McPherson Guitars. I’ve been there for 20 years. My collection of Unique Tonewoods represents many years of expereince in buying and selling.

As a professional Luthier, I intimately understand the materials and needs of other Luthiers. This is a carefully procured and cared for collection of wood that I would like to share.

I am constantly acquiring and cutting new sets, and have many items that are not listed on the website. If there’s something you’re after that is not listed here, please contact me. I may have what you’re looking for or can source it for you.
