About

I'm a dedicated luthier, crafting just a few guitars each year, and a Creede local at heart. From my bench in Tucson, I custom-build fine guitars with exceptional care and precision for discerning players, collectors, and those inspired by Creede's spirit. I'm now bringing that tradition of craftsmanship to the desert Southwest.

My focus is on small-bodied, 12-fret acoustic guitars—an especially rewarding combination of comfortable playability, intimate proportions, and a voice that is remarkably bigger than the instrument itself. With the bridge positioned closer to the center of the lower bout, the design allows more of the soundboard to contribute to the guitar's voice.

Considerable attention goes into controlling the moisture content of the wood as each guitar is built. I build with your specific climate and seasonal humidity changes in mind, carefully establishing a moisture balance that allows the guitar to remain stable where it will live. The goal is a guitar designed to spend more time out of its case and in your hands.
