acoustic guitar

 

Welcome to Solid Tone Customs and thank you for visiting.

Building is something I have done for a living for over 25 years. My experience began in custom cabinetry and kitchens working with my father who was a talented carpenter by trade and taught me so much. I've worked in the commercial sign industry, been a welder, spent several years in the pipe lining industry. At present I own/operate my own company which deals with the commercial construction industry. The build projects I have been involved with include restaurants, gas stations, coffee houses, department stores, just to name a few.

I am a self-taught guitar builder and have made many of the tools, jigs, etc. needed when I built my first guitar in Jan 2009.

Currently I am using my skills to handcraft acoustic steel string guitars. Not my full time job, instead time I spend enjoying simply working with my hands and wood. I build focusing on playability, clarity, tone, and simplistic beauty. The instruments I create are from solid choice woods and carefully voiced to make each look and sound beautiful.

New section added - Other Projects. Basically this is 'fix it shop'.
