Scott Baxendale and his son, John, own the Colfax Guitar Shop,
home of Baxendale & Baxendale Custom Guitars. Scott started
building acoustic guitars in 1974 by going to work for S.L.Mossman
Guitars, eventually becoming an assistant shop foreman. In 1978
Scott went to Nashville and began work at Gruhn Guitars. It was
here that Scott began to formulate the design ideas that are incorporated
in guitars he produces today. In 1985 Scott and his family purchased
Mossman Guitars and moved the manufacturing facility to Dallas,
Tx. and built 250 acoustic guitars under the Mossman name. People
who play and own these guitars include: Joe Walsh, John Mellancamp,
Greg Lake, Jorma Kaukonen, Donovan, Greg Lake, Willie Nelson, Travis
Tritt, James Burton and Chris Hillman. Scott went to work at the
Denver Folklore Center in 1993 and eventually opened the Colfax
Guitar Shop. It is here that his son began his career as a guitar
maker, and together Scott and John continue building world class
custom guitars and performing expert vintage restorations.
