The Art of the Guitar—
I believe that building musical instruments is
an art form to which there are endless possibilities—like there
are with music and Life itself. I choose to hand build instruments
one by one, because musicians are different and our instruments
should reflect that. Fine craftsmanship, attention to detail and
the versatility of my shop allow me to build just about anything
you can imagine. Designed for you—I can create the instrument of your
dreams. On the cutting edge of innovation, combining Art,
technology, and traditional ideas, my goal is to make the finest quality
instruments imaginable.
Below you'll find links to images and descriptions of
many of the fine instruments I've created over the years. Browse around,
and if you have any questions, just ask.
