I began in luthiery in 1981
with only a Les Paul guitar and my Dad's tools. Upon completion of this “new and improved” double cut-away, I read all I could on this craft, and
began doing repairs on local musicians' instruments.
In 1987, I travelled out west to attend G.I.T. in Hollywood, and eventually began work at Carruthers Guitars. While at John’s (Carruthers), I had the pleasure of working on instruments owned by top artists in nearly every music genre:
Aerosmith, Buzz Feiten, The Doors,
Steve Vai, Def Leppard, Albert Collins,
Eric Clapton, Bon Jovi, Lionna Boyd, etc.
(Jaime, you don't suck at guitar! )
I specialize in custom inlays and designs, catering not only to the
builders, but also the players of instruments around the world.
It has been my privilege to do inlays for many gifted Luthiers, including the following:
