Hand-selected tonewoods
We choose every set of wood ourselves, for how it looks and how it rings, so each guitar starts with materials we’re proud of.
Handmade in Naples, Florida
Generations of craft in every chord.
A father-and-son custom shop, where modern tools meet time-honored handwork and voicing.

Our story
It started with one guitar for a sixteen-year-old.
In the late ’90s, Tom, just sixteen at the time, asked his dad, Dave — already an accomplished woodworker and furniture maker — to build him an acoustic guitar. Dave took to the task.

The craft
Built slowly, by hand, for one player.
Craftsmanship and quality go hand in hand. Here’s what goes into every instrument that leaves our bench.
Braced and voiced by hand
Each top is carefully braced and voiced, using only the finest materials, for a full, responsive sound that sets our instruments apart.
Custom artwork, made in-house
Inlays, rosettes and personal details are designed and made right here. Bring us an idea and we’ll help make your instrument truly one of a kind.
