As a luthier, I can let my creativity soar. Even with all of the amazing guitars that other luthiers all over the world are coming up with every day, there’s still so much room in the world of guitar for new, creative design.
I am a custom guitar builder located in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. I’ve played guitar since I was a kid, and it was always a dream of mine to build my own. When I was offered an apprenticeship with Darrel Hamm of Graden Guitars in Lebanon Church, Virginia, I jumped at the chance. Darrel builds one-of-a-kind acoustic guitars and is a great teacher and friend.
Having started building acoustic guitars, I have recently branched out into building electrics as well. My build philosophy is simple: perform every step to the best of your ability with the utmost attention to detail.
