I've been building and repairing guitars for 14 years. Each one is crafted individually, slowly, by hand. I give my instruments names, not serial numbers, because every one is unique. I like to maintain a modern and functionalist aesthetic, showcasing the natural beauty of local woods. Hopefully you'll enjoy them too!

Latest Guitar: "Peekaboo"

You've seen this one in progress, now it's time for the reveal. Introducing: "Peekaboo"

As you can see, it's another headless, semi-hollow, ergonomically designed seven string. There aren't too many of those out there, at least not yet. This one is a sinuous blend of curves and clean, modern lines. A genuine red spruce top covers a chambered chunk of contrasting black walnut, except for that little soundport in the upper bass bout. That also holds the inspiration for the name- Volume and Tone adjustment wheels peek out inconspicuously from the opening. Click on the image for a full Gallery description...
