Handcrafted in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania
Custom Guitars, Built Around Your Sound
Classical and steel-string guitars, mandolins, ukuleles and banjos, each one designed with you and built by hand.
Fine Woodworking, Made to Be Played
I was classically trained as a fine furniture maker in Belgium, where I competed nationally and internationally and earned a medal for excellence at the WorldSkills competition. For more than a decade, I've brought that same attention to joinery, wood and detail to building instruments. Every guitar I make starts with a conversation about how you play and what you want to hear. From hand-selected tonewoods to custom inlays, each detail is chosen to bring your sound to life.
