ABOUT
I’m a lifelong musician with a passion for building, designing, and fixing things.
Growing up I played in bands playing heavy music, like punk rock, hardcore, and metal, but I love everything from jazz to classical to bluegrass to hip-hop.
I spent most of my professional life working in restaurants, where I developed an extreme attention to detail and exacting standards. I left the culinary world to pursue woodworking, owning Wilson Woodworks for 10 years, selling small wares at craft fairs and designing and building custom furniture.
BUILT FOR MUSICIANS
As a musician, I understand the needs of other musicians. The attention to detail I developed working in restaurants translates to shiny polished bone nuts, perfectly levelled and crowned frets, and clean and lasting solder joints. My experience as a woodworker not only informs the quality of neck resets, crack repairs, and routing of pickup cavities, but also means an intimate understand of tools as an extension of myself.

If it has strings and frets (or fretless) I’ll get your instrument playing like it should, give it a refresh, or bring it back to life!
-
Yes! I specialize in guitars built with local, sustainable woods. Make an appointment to discuss your dream guitar.
-
Yes, no need to make a second or third appointment. You can bring in as many instruments as you like to your appointment, I will get them into the repair queue and get them back to you as soon as possible.
