About Us

I got my first electric bass when I was 14 years old. I found it at a garage sale for 20 bucks. within a couple of years I could kind of play the thing. Now some 45 years and more than a few basses later, while I still pluck away: I am pretty sure that my playing skills peaked in the late 1970’s. The truth is, I was born to be an artist and not a musician.

So a number of years ago I decided to try my hand at sprucing up an inexpensive secondhand bass guitar. Since that first one. I put my touch on around 65 second hand Instruments, with the great majority of those being donated to various musical charities. More recently I have started doing commissions for some well known professional players.

Why Choose Me

I am a trained visual artist. In addition, I have practiced and refined my woodworking/finishing skills with over 30 years in that profession. I am not interested in good enough, and I don’t take short cuts. Everything is done by hand, from design to finish. Working both as an artist and finishing custom furniture for all these years, I have a lot of ideas and experience, I have gathered a ton of resources, and I have put together a library with hundreds upon hundreds of guitar and bass designs. I use this library to pull ideas and elements from, I add a few of my own, and pick and choose those that I think will work best. I have never made the same instrument twice. There are way too many ideas out there that I have yet to explore. So, whatever your instrument needs, from a real good touch up, to an entire reimagining, we can make it happen.
