Philosophy

I purchase air-dried wood from old stocks and currently have alder (DE, >10 years), walnut (AT, >15 years), and mahogany (FSC, >15 years) in stock. When it comes to new wood, I value regionality, sustainable cultivation, and top quality. My desire is to build guitars from local sources without the use of animal components. I experiment with different finishes such as shellac and various oils to bring out the best in the wood.

Planning

All details are finalized and any questions are clarified. The availability of the desired configuration (woods, pickups, etc.) and the delivery time are then determined. 

​

Setup & delivery

Each of my guitars receives a perfect setup. This ensures that the playability, intonation, and string action are perfect. Optionally, a setup can be performed on a Plek station.
