ABOUT US



I am a Woodworker! About 20 years ago I dove into guitar building. It was a fun challenge to me, I wanted to create a piece of art.
I designed and built electric guitars, creating some unique and fun to play one of a kind guitars.
After years of working on instruments I dove into Acoustics. Well these are my favorite. The sometimes subtle and sometimes major changes to the sound of the guitar made the art a lot of fun.
Change the size of a piece of bracing and the guitar sounds different.
Change the type of wood and you get a guitar that sounds completely different.
I started listening to the voice of those I build guitars for. Then selecting the specific pieces of wood and tuning the guitar as I built it to create the best compliment to their voice that I can. It can be done.

I build a specific size of Acoustic guitar. Its similar to a Classical size guitar. I built an Acoustic guitar that fits in your lap comfortably while sitting around playing. These guitars are not fragile and are designed to be played.
The best design I have reached are the Model 1057. A 25" scale, 22 fret guitar. The bracing is made of Maple. Very different than any other guitar I have seen. This gives the guitar strong bones for playing inside or outside with temperature changes that can mess up other guitars. Guitars with an Old Fashioned look. The neck can be thick or thin to fit your preference.
I use natural wood for inlays to create an artistic look. What would you like to see on your guitar?

In 2021 through 2022 I will be creating my version of a full size Acoustic guitar.
Want an electric or Acoustic guitar? You design it, We will create it together. Yes you get to be involved in the design. Make it yours!
