Guitar Building

For the past 5 years I have been lucky enough to puruse guitar building pretty much fell time. It has resulted in significant design innovation, and 7 lovely steel string guitars made from New Zealand native woods. To learn more about the woods and the design, click on the links above.

Most recently, the development of a short scale 000 has been extra rewarding. So far only two have been completed, and one of them is 'my go' to guitar. It is easy to play, quite loud if you want it to be, has a beautiful voice - clear as a bell, and it is easy to handle. I like everything about it.

Guitar building is something I have always wanted to do, ever since I can remember. Now I'm livin' the dream...and lovin' it,
