Squareneck Acoustic

In Early 2003, after our household budget committee repeatedly failed funding attempts for a new custom instrument, I began building Resophonic guitars. I modeled the first one after the sound I'd learned to appreciate as a player, and a look that I had envisioned since I was first introduced to the instrument back in 1996. After a few months planning I hit the shop and upon completion I proudly carried my first guitar throughout festival season. Several people liked what they heard, and I soon started another batch.

The attention and response from my first instrument lead me to pursue what has evolved into one of the most fulfilling ventures in my life. I work from my home shop in Statesville, NC. I do all the actual building myself but my wife Jodi plays a huge supporting role.
