I have chosen to stay put geographically, feeling the trade off in visibility is offset by the quality of life my family has in Montana. Now the success of my current models combined with the widening recognition of the quality I strive to maintain has brought the decision that it is time to enter a wider arena. We will remain a small shop, dedicated to personal service, however. My Philosophy I specialize in making truely custom instruments. Although I have developed specific models, they are really just a starting point in creating your instrument.
Every player has in mind the 'perfect' neck or action or voice.
Because of that I spend a great deal of time with each buyer, gathering all the input he or she can provide. Every aspect of the neck shape and profile, the voicing of the top and action - are all patiently molded to meet your requirements. I do every step of construction myself, which means your input is directly translated to wood. I do all of my inlay work here as well, which affords great flexibility in creating the guitar which best reflects your sensibility. Mine is a very 'hand on' shop from a customer perspective.
