The finest in handmade instruments
I build a limited number of guitar and mandolin family instruments. My
goal is always to build the finest custom instrument to meet each player's
discriminating needs. I enjoy providing an instrument that a musician can
own and play with as much pride as I took when I built it.
Tailored to meet your needs for look, playability & tone
All instruments are warranted for life to the original owner against defects
in materials and workmanship.
Woods and Construction
All instruments are carefully crafted with the finest materials available.
The building process begins with the selection and harvest of Engelmann spruce
in the forests surrounding McCall, Idaho, and continues with uncompromised
craftsmanship and attention to detail. These custom instruments sound and feel
as good as they look, and great care is given in every step, from design, to
matching of woods, to finish and set-up.
