beautiful handbuilt guitars

In this area of big box shopping and mass consumerism, many crave the simpler virtues that seem to be eroded more and more over time. Your passion is music and music is most definitely not a mass produced, cookie cutter affair! My passion is handbuilt instruments. If you are in the market for a fine new guitar please consider having it made with love and care by a real person rather than a corporation. In return you will receive more than a new toy, you’ll build a new relationship with yourself, your music and your community. Your instrument will reflect your values and altogether be a much more personal item.

Here in my shop, I work diligently to draw the best out of the best. Fine Sitka spruce, gorgeous Rosewood and the most stable and true Honduras mahogany. Add Ebony, Wenge, fine strings and precision tuners and you will have an instrument that will sing the highest notes and growl the deepest tones.

Then there are the options. Curly Bigleaf Maple that shimmers, Rosewood or Ebony for bridge and fretboard, you choose. Schaller, Grover, Gotoh, Waverley ... all the goodies a person could want. A special inlay perhaps, your favourite animal, flower or maybe a fire- breathing dragon! Endless possibilities to match the endless sound.

Visit the shop tour page and see how the instruments are put together. A careful blend of new and old technologies, each used to yield the best results. The process link describes how you, the customer, and I will interact to achieve your goals. When you are ready, my contact page shows the different ways to reach with me.
