I began my career in 1970 after receiving an engineering degree from The University of Texas.  There were no jobs for aerospace engineers at the time, so I bought a book on building guitars and never looked back. Over the years I have built classic guitars, steel-string guitars, and one 12-string. 

   The guitar in the photo is my personal guitar, a mahagony and sitka instrument sized somewhere between a Dreadnought and a "000". I have an extensive supply of aged wood to build more, including a few sets of primo Brazilian.  

  There is a baritone rosewood guitar almost finished, with a 28" scale, that will be available soon.
