A little about me.

​I build handmade guitars, as well as, having worked for Dean Zelinsky and Chicago School of Guitar Building. I am constantly striving to utilize the best techniques and highest quality products to bring the ultimate guitar to my customers.

I have manufactured and finished 100s of guitars. 

I specialize in custom nitrocellulose lacquer, hand painted airbrush graphics and more!

Support with a purchase...

My unique paint shop...

The basic service I offer is guitar finishing.

Building a custom guitar can be an adventure.

More often than not a customer just needs a custom paint job.  Most of these builders have already handled tremendous tasks so far and are prepared to take their newly finished masterpiece home for re-assembly. If you need more than that, I'm always happy to help you through accomplishing those harder tasks, like fret install or inlays; just about anything to bring your build to the next level.
