My Mission

The Archtop

I have firmly dedicated my craft to the archtop guitar. I believe that the archtop guitar is making huge strides from both players and makers. With ties to the violin and cello community, and room for innovation, the archtop guitar is an unsolved puzzle that i feel fortunate to be a part of.

Modern Approach

I have tremendous respect for the history of the archtop guitar. Anyone building guitars today are truly on the shoulders of giants. My goal is to create a unique blend of both the classic tradition and the modern innovation.

Performance

The archtop guitar has gone through some very interesting transformations throughout its life time of evolving along side the magnetic pickup. My goal is to create responsive acoustic instruments first, and an amplified guitar second.
