My Workshop

(Tours/visits by appointment)

Setup, Repair, and Assembly Bench

This is where the magic happens...

​

Beastly axes you've sworn at can be transformed into your best friend here.  That little oopsie at the gig last weekend can be sorted out.  And if you feel like she deserves it, your little companion can get a luxry spa treatment here.  She does deserve it, doesn't she? ;-)

​

Here, I have all industry-standard setup tools and I will be procuring more specialized tools and equipment as demands necessitate.   Rest assured, whatever your need is, I can get you taken care of at my shop.

Demo Corner

This is a corner of the shop where I check playability of all guitars before they are returned to my clients.  If I'm not happy, it's back to the bench until it's right!

​

Also, for my clients, this is a place to try out your guitar after being serviced.  If you find anything that is not to your playing preference during your demo, we can adjust it right here, on the spot!

​

My equipment is an all-tube Marshall DSL1C (for electrics), a Marshall AS50D for acoustics with onboard electronics, and a Monster Cable.

Tools, Supplies, and Equipment Storage

This is where I store supplies, parts for customization or custom guitar builds, and a few of my tools (drills, router, rotary tools, polisher, and more).

​

My shop is small, so it is necessary to keep a very lean operation.  Therefore, I do not keep inventory of anything but the most universal of supplies.

Ambience

Let's call a spade a spade.  This whole workspace exists because of my love of guitars and the rich history behind the art of luthiery.  Why else would someone build a guitar shop behind their home?!?  Because my workshop is newly minted, the decor and ambience is still in flux.  I want the walls to be filled with things that will inspire, both me and you.  These things will come with time...
