My Story

Welcome to a world where passion meets precision. For over 35 years, I've dedicated my life to the art of music and guitar craftsmanship, transforming raw materials into instruments that inspire musicians and collectors worldwide. My journey began as a young musician, but evolved into something much deeper—a mission to create and preserve guitars that don't just sound exceptional, but tell stories.

Having collaborated with numerous recording artists throughout my career, I understand what separates a good guitar from a truly great one. It's this studio experience that informs every custom build and upgrade I undertake, ensuring each instrument meets the demanding standards of professional musicians.
