This Is Our Story
Quality is about competency. Building guitars is my specialty, but a quality instrument starts with a deep understanding of the materials and processes behind what you’re trying to build.
Along the path of my journey to guitar building I had the unique opportunity to study furniture at one of the most well-recognized schools in the country (the Marc Adams School of Woodworking) and also run a sawmill for several summers. The combined process taught me about wood and its behavior on a deeper level than most people ever get to experience. The process of transforming a tree in the woods into a final product is something that usually takes multiple stages and middle-men, but I’ve had the incredible opportunity to get to do that exact thing multiple times. Combined with a lifetime of musical study, I’ve learned one of the critical pieces of great instruments: that how they look and sound must tie together. Consequently, I am able to connect the dots that are required to produce instruments of the highest tonal and visual quality.

Why should I build your guitar?
#1
Experience
With over 50 guitars built, I’ve seen the ins and outs of what goes into a quality instrument.
#2
Versatility
Want domestic hardwoods from start to finish? Can do. Custom inlays? Check. Looking for exotics, or something you’ve never seen anybody try? Let’s do it. I’ve shaped and honed a system of instrument building that allows versatility at every stage to leave room for you to express what’s critical to your guitar.

Limited Builds
I build a limited number of instruments each year. I’m not trying to bulk out as many orders as possible. Working from a small-scale standpoint ensures that I’m totally present in the build process so that you’re getting exactly what you request.
