I have been making stuff my whole life.
Some of my earliest memories are being in my dad’s workshop, making and fixing things. I played with Lego everyday, built model kits and made my own Ghostbusters Proton Packs out of cardboard. Aged 20 I got a job at a model making company and in the following years I took up wood turning, blacksmithing, stone carving, prop making, wandsmithing (that’s a thing!) and most recently I built 4 guitars.

These turned out great and felt awesome to play, one of the benefits of a custom made instrument - Everything tailor made to suit the player.

Everyone that has tried them said that I should make more and after finding myself between jobs, decided to give full time guitar building a shot.

My workshop is set up, my chisels are sharpened, music is playing and the tea is made.

Now all we need to do is discuss how I am going to build YOUR guitar for you.
