As of 08-11-2025 I am no longer taking on repairs or other services for anyone I haven't already done work for in the past:  If you had work done by me, then I have your name, phone #, address, and maybe other info on record:  Read the announcement on the home page you may have missed here:

/h3>

You can use this form to:

Contact me to report problems with this website.

That doesn't necessarily mean the site itself is broken, as in the past many a browser and online service have done odd things outside of established WWW standards causing trouble for many, just because they feel like everyone has to adhere to their rules, and well, they don't own the internet.

I also cannot help anyone with any specifics as to their services, browsers and other apps, nor Operating systems you may use:  I don't use Windows, Apple, nor google products.  I am a Linux only user.

Contact me if I know you personally, but we have lost contact a long time ago:

If that is the case and you are wondering what I have been up to... I

Press and content creators (especially independent) are free to inquire to visit my shop, interview me for feature stories.. as to my craft and involvement in the industry and who all with for so long...  I do so at my own discretion, and if I agree then only with written, witnessed and signed contract, release and/or other documentation. 

I do not answer general questions pertaining to:

Anyone of fame I have worked for, nor really anyone else:  If to find a mutual friend or acquaintance, I can see that, but will not just hand out contact info without their explicit consent, but only relay your contact info to them and that you want to contact them, and no more than that.  It's up to them to contact you or not, not me.

Historical questions about guitars, their value, lutherie or anything related.  I am not a historian, do not cater to the collectors market, and can not asses instruments by make, model, vintage, nor make value assessments... or anything like that, nor have I ever seen the collectors market as anything but an oddity I cannot take seriously for the most part, especially where it praises mass produced product in as high, and even worse higher regard than one of a kind, or very limited passionately hand made instruments by brilliant and artistically gifted builders with true vision.

"Do it yourself" information, buying advice for instruments parts or related,  If I ever do anything of the kind, it will be by means of a book or other publication...  There is some good and usable information in that regard on this site already, and I have been toying with the idea of getting much deeper into it all given my background in the sciences (in a professional capacity, more specifically wave tech), and lack thereof in the understanding of the true and real applicable sciences and quantification thereof, as related to stringed musical instruments, since there is way too much bogus, phony and downright wrong information out there much of which still has people buying instruments for all the wrong reasons...

I cannot take on apprentices, nor act as a guide in your endeavors exploring Lutherie.  As above, I may get into all that, but on this site, maybe a book, or what not, but rather than for one or a select few individuals, for all to discover and take advantage of:  Maximum effect in mind.

Absolutely no soliciting!

Anyone violating this will be reported to any and all governing bodies and agencies for it.

I am not stupid, and don't need you to tell me what is or is not good for my business, and especially not "What I want", without seeing you as the stupid one, and you have little to no chance to get any business out of me, quite the opposite just for insulting my intelligence!  If I need something I seek it out to may own needs and at my own leisure...
