I’m an old school Engineer & Draughtsman turned software application specialist working in multiple sectors including general mechanical, automotive, product & industrial design & digital sculpting. Playing guitar from an early age and making music has always been a passion and release.
I have been in several bands playing both guitar and bass and always setup and modified all of my own guitars over the years, but more recently found that there were things which I needed which I just couldn’t get from an off the shelf guitar, this led me to explore making one for myself using influences from my previous work experiences and from guitars I’ve had allowing me to build in my own personal requirements for a guitar.
I realised a narrow neck profile put a limitation on my fluidity due to tightness in the thumb muscle, this led me to explore different neck shapes, widths and profiles, body shapes and forms.
In doing all of this I’ve found there is something special and challenging about working with wood, it’s tactile nature and having to consider each aspect of fit, form, function & finish to be able to create an original handcrafted playable piece of art.
The feeling of picking up a hand crafted instrument built specifically for you is an amazing feeling and being able to create the same feeling for other people I consider a privilege.
