Building guitars is my passion, not my business.

I build what appeals to me, completing one instrument at a time. Typically, 50-100 hours of painstaking, detailed handwork goes into the creation of each unique, signed & numbered instrument. Most of the instruments are donated for charity fundraising events that support education, the arts and the general well-being of children and families in the St Louis region. Instruments donated to charities are “no strings attached” donations: 100% of the proceeds goes to the charity. 
 
While I'm happy to donate instruments for charity fundraisers, the cost for me to build a guitar continues to increase. In order to continue building guitars that I can donate to charity, from time to time I offer some of my instruments for sale. The proceeds fund the building of the instruments donated to charity fundraisers.
