“I’m no luthier, I just build what I like. I had to take 2 months off due to back surgery so I keep myself busy creating these guitars and my art pieces.”

“I work on these whenever I have time and will probably continue indefinitely as long as there is some interest out there for me to continue. I love creating these and watching them evolve.”
