Guitar Finishing
I am a seasoned veteran when it comes to all things finish. Not only do I do excellent finish work on my own builds and repairs - I also finish several other builders’ instruments on contract.

Custom Inlay & CNC services
I have become pretty well versed in the world of CNC machining, and so I get a lot of inquiries about cutting parts and inlays for other luthiers and hobbyists. To be honest - there are several other big companies that do excellent inlay work already, and they probably will beat my pricing… So if you are doing 10+ guitars/year then you likely will be better off going with one of the big guys. But for one-off work and other small quantity parts; I am a great resource. If you need a special inlay, fretboard, neck, bridge, or other part made — then I would love to help you out!

“Black Label” manufacturing
I have developed some great relationships with other luthiers around the world, and a few of them have trusted me enough to build their own brand of instruments on their behalf. I am simply executing their concepts to a high quality, to their specifications. Maybe you have a great idea or design; but you just don’t have the shop space, spare time, or other resources to make your dreams a reality… If that describes you, then consider partnering with me to build a custom instrument or small production line to your exact specs, with your personal branding, and no rules or limits.
