After achieving some success repairing guitars both for himself and friends in the music business, Bob Karger started hand-making guitars in 1991. He wanted to build something that was not only contemporary but would to stand the test of time, which is why the company slogan is "Classic Guitars Built Today." The initial design was named "SET" (an acronym for Solid Electric Through-neck). Karger's goal as a guitar builder is to improve on designs that already exist. Features of Karger's guitars that support this are highly contoured bodies, neck-through design, strings anchored to the back of the guitar, and the flexibility of a hand-built guitar.
