In 2010 while working while bouncing around between waiting tables and telemarketing, a conversation occurred suggesting to look into luthiery. Later that same year, a Southwest flight touched down in Phoenix Arizona and I found myself in a dusty quonset hut enrolled in a six month program focused on acoustic and electric guitar construction. The cericulum offered an entry level introduction to several skill sets required to study in order to master the craft. Most of the learning is done and will continue to be done one project at a time. Luthiery school was followed by two years of high end manufacturing and apprenticeships along side established craftsman in the profession. These experiences early on were vital in early development instilling a quality standard and comprehensive understanding of guitar construction. Fit, finish and frets.
