I've been fortunate to have developed friendships with such notable luthiers as John and William Gilbert and Jose Oribe who have been very helpful and supportive of my work. Mr. Schramm now lives in Fresno, California with his wife and daughter. Besides building guitars he teaches beginning guitar part time at Fresno City College, gives lectures on guitarmaking, and is an active member of the Fresno Central Seventh Day Adventist Church Men's Chourus. He welcomes visitors to his shop Sunday through Friday. In fact, I feel it is impossible to do so.
Guitars sound and play differently from person to person.
So, with that in mind, I will outline some of my goals.
