I started building guitars in 1992 from a kit my
oldest son gave me for my birthday. After building that one I was
hooked!!! I couldn’t wait until I started building the next
one. Being a perfectionist, I’ll probably never build the perfect
guitar, for I’ll always be trying to improve on something.
In building the best guitar possible, I believe you need the best
materials possible. With the top wood being the most important in
the sound of the guitar, I have spent many, many hours searching
the mountains of West Virginia for Red Spruce trees, which I believe
to be the Holy Grail of top woods, having found some, I’m well
stocked with this wood. This is what I use on all of my guitars
unless otherwise requested. I’ve tried to develop my own guitar
identity in both looks and sound. When you play one, you will experience
both the labor of love and the quality of materials used in building
my guitars. Play one and enjoy!
