My philosophy is simple. If it is worth your time to do, do it the best you can. Anyone who is interested in playing a fine hand crafted instrument will appreciate the quality workmanship and attention to detail I strive to put into my guitars. I also know that the best guitars in the world are of no use to anyone if they are priced out of reach.

To this end, much consideration has been given to all facets of the guitar’s design. I have picked the best available components providing the greatest return to the end user. Pattern grade Mahogany is the wood of choice for bodies and necks due in no small part to its excellent stability and smooth, rich tonal qualities. Quilted and Flame Maples make a beautiful statement as the woods of choice for the top caps on many models. Smooth, close grained Ebony, Indian Rosewood and Bois De Rose            ( Madagascar Rosewood) are used for the fingerboards which cover a state-of-the-art, double acting truss rod.

Starting at the headstock and working down you will discover precision Gotoh tuning machines; Rowan, Amalfitano, DiMarzio and Fishman pickups; and Gotoh, Tone Pros and Hipshot bridges. Solid brass knobs turn smooth operating CGE volume and tone pots. Switchcraft input jacks and switches insure trouble free operation.  The optional Bucker Booster preamp solves the problem of volume drop when tapping humbuckers.

The finish on my guitars takes advantage of modern technology to provide a beautiful, long lasting finish which is not prone to the problems associated with nitrocellulose lacquer finishes. Once all the pieces and processes required to build the guitar have come together, it must pass the final inspection. In short, I will ship no guitar before it has been completely set up to my satisfaction—period.

The truth is out there—and you just read it.
