how did you start making guitars? i;m a metal fabricator, i'v always been good at building things, just curious how you got into it, i'd love to try one of my own, i know probably after the amount of tools and bits and what not its probably cheaper just to buy a custom made one, but it would be something cool to try |
I never really set out to be Luthier, it just kind of happened I guess. I built my first guitar (actually it was a bass) at the age of 14 and kept going from there. Early on, I bounced back and forth between Areospace and Luthiery, and even taught Diesel Mechanics for a while, but the guitar building was my true love, and it just kind of evolved from there.
There is really no glamour in building guitars, it`s alot of unforgiving work (I`m sure Dan, and Matt would agree) but the reward is the music that your efforts help create.
