For the last twenty years I have been honing my skills as a luthier. In the beginning everything is difficult. It took me about five years to make the first instrument that was flawlessly executed. Five years after that, I was able to do it consistently. In the time since, I have begun to realize that I no longer need to think about most of the processes that go into crafting an instrument. This became clear to me one day as I was cutting a miter joint. For a perfect miter, the last cut must be perfect or the joint will not line up seamlessly. In that instant, I am not thinking at all, just doing. It’s as if the volume of the outside world gets muted and time slows, I am in the moment. This realization has made me aware of a deeper meaning in crafting instruments, a “zen” of guitar making.

One of my goals as a guitar maker is to take the beauty of the guitar and distill it into its purest form. Finding an answer to the question of “what is a guitar?” by exploring the possibilities of what a guitar actually can be. I have no boundaries save my own imagination. I am always exploring an idea and for me, the fun is allowing myself to “let it happen” and see where the muse leads. All of my instruments are different, and I often follow various themes for a few guitars but I look in each guitar as a snapshot in time of where I was and what I was doing and what I was thinking at that point in time and it’s an expressed in the design of the guitar. Each one being one step closer to the answer of what is a guitar.

The back of “puzzled”. I made this guitar as a challenge to myself, all the inlay was cut by hand. The Brazilian stock was given to me by a friend as an off cut from some re-sawing he had done. I felt that it would be the perfect piece to do the puzzle with as it had natural voids than I used for the negative space in the puzzle. People have asked me if I would ever do a puzzled 2 and if I did I would definitely use a cnc as the puzzle pieces took nearly a month to cut!
