After nearly 20 years as a player, repairer and builder of instruments, I have distilled my Solutions to the issues and shortcomings of production or “Factory” instruments into my own designs and construction methods. 

The result is a line of versatile instruments that excel in any musical situation.

I believe the most playable instrument is one that seemingly disappears in your hands, leaving you the freedom to fully express your musical ideas.  That’s why every aspect of the design and construction of my instruments is intended to provide an inspirational experience for you, the player.

My ultimate goal as a luthier is to make new designs that are timeless, highly functional, and most importantly, break the mold.

In the summer of 2014 I set out with the goal of creating a distinct new line of Bespoke Bass Guitars that would epitomize the fusion of modern and classic design.  Instruments that would satisfy the stringent needs of modern musicians, and address design issues such as weight, balance, tonality, and reliability.
