In the fall
of 2000 I attended a week long intensive archtop building
course co-taught by Linda Manzer and Tom Ribbecke. At
this course, I was able to learn all aspects of archtop
guitar construction from two of today's finest archtop
builders.
I have been
a full time guitar builder since 1998. When building a guitar today, I draw from a lifetime
of handcraft experience, many years of lutherie practice,
and a collection of the finest tonewoods from around
the world.
