I don’t build instruments for a living, I do it because I love it. I sell instruments to share my passion and subsidize this crazy obsession with tone. I got started building because I couldn’t afford to buy all the great instruments I wanted to try. From tweed amps to unusual guitars, gear acquisition can get expensive. I realized quickly that I loved building these things and they turned out great. There is always a little excitement when I show up to a jam session because my friends all want to know “What toys did you bring us this time?"
