I began building and restoring stringed instruments in 1978 and also became a member of the Luthier’s Guild of America. When I moved to Sacramento from Monterrey, California, where I was studying classical guitar with Byron Tomingas, I became a service center for Martin guitars. I enjoy helping musicians with their guitars and other instruments to achieve their goals with whatever style music they are interested in. I also build custom order guitars, steel string and classical, mandolins and resonator guitars. Erin O’Toole, is an artist and designer and creates the inlay for many of our custom instruments, see more of her work at erinotoole.com.
