ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

You're seeing the result of a lifelong obsession (addiction?) with guitars and gear. From an invention, to acoustic guitars, to guitars I've built, to some of the gear that's accumulated, there's a lot of it here...Music is the biggest part of my life outside my family. If you've read this far, you probably feel the same way I do about guitar and music.... I hope you enjoy the inventory of sorts!
