MY STORY
It is summer in New Mexico and the Colorado River is dark green. I am sensitive to colors, and the green of the river caught my eye. So did a big guitar coming up out of the ground, just beyond the river. A sign indicates it’s a guitar studio.
Guitars are displayed on the angled wall in many colors and various set ups, ready to be played. They are all unique and custom made. Having familiarized myself with the shop, I decided to buy one to bring home to New York.
Upon my return to New York, I found I was inspired to play this custom guitar more often than any of the guitars I had bought before, all those fantasy big brand names that I expected to love.
Years on, that encounter fueled my music and fed a dream - to make unique instruments that inspire in the same way I was by a custom shop in New Mexico.
My vision is my own. My inspiration is broad. I hope you will find this spirit in the instruments you find here.
