Old Scratch Fabrications guitars and basses are hand made by Markus Schaffer. Schaffer has been making instruments since 2001 and founded the Old Scratch Fabrications brand in 2006. Originally located in Manhattan, New York City - Schaffer moved his workshop to Brooklyn in 2015. Old Scratch instruments are made from figured wood, often using pieces with interesting knots.
