History
I began building guitars in High School woodshop. Through a desire to play the guitar, I thought it would be more challenging to first build my own. Through self study, I produced a mahogany guitar styled after the famed Gibson Flying-V and using the neck-through-body construction. Later that year, I produced several basses which I sold. During that time I completed numerous Classical, Flamenco, and Electric Guitar and Electric Bass designs which have never been implemented.
Wanting to start a career as a Luthier, I allowed myself to be distracted by the kratobros. Thus, I began my career as a software engineer. Culminating years later in a 'High-Tech' startup collapse, I resurrected my original desire to be a Luthier. Now, my single career devotion is to return to the crafting of wood into a refined stringed instrument.
