A guitar is a fantanstic thing.
Im a player, not much of one, but a player first. I found guitar a few years after my first experiences in a real wood shop.
My idenity has been wrapped up in those two things ever since discovery. Somthing clicked for me in the shop that never did in quite the same way on the fretboard. I found that I had some ability to make things, and to do it, was one of the greatest feelings in the world.
I began to look at the guitar and wonder…
13 years later I opperate a one man shop in the great guitar town of Nashville TN USA. I build custom guitars and serve the local repair market.
The guitars I build are like little peices of my soul. I pull in lessons from the repairs, “What works and what fails over time?” I lean on the expereince of my clients, their prioritys, and feedback as players.
Frankly, I stand on the shoulders of giants, who have explored new ways to pushed the guitar foward while also preserving the knowledge of the past.
Ever day that I can honor this craft and participate, is a good day.
