One of the joys of building guitars is listening to someone creating music with a guitar that I made. From time to time I’m lucky enough to have a customer record themself doing that and then allowing me to share the recording with you. Here are some examples for you to enjoy.

Occasionally I’ll attend a local open mic session, bring a guitar or two with me, and invite the performers to try them out. This is an opportunity to get my instruments into the hands of musicians and to garner valuable feedback which ultimately helps me improve my work. During one particular visit to Tunes After Noon with Greg Kelly and Friends, I was able to record several of the performances. The artists have generously allowed me to share these videos with you.
