John Widman is an American luthier who makes high-end, hand-built guitars.

He grew up in the Asheville, North Carolina area.[1] After graduating from North Carolina State University (1984)[2] and working as a photographer and graphic designer, he turned to building high-end electric guitars under the name Widman Custom Electrics, from Arden, North Carolina.[1] Woods and hardware are specified by the customer.[3] Besides vintage-styled guitars,[3] he also builds electric banjos.[4]
