⚠ Website Under DevelopmentEvery SRF guitar starts with a conversation and ends with an instrument that plays exactly the way you imagined — and sounds better than you hoped.

One Builder.
One Guitar.
One Player.

Every guitar that leaves my Vermont workshop starts with a conversation — about your playing, your sound, the music you hear in your head.

I build fewer than twenty-five instruments a year because every one deserves the time it takes to be extraordinary.

From searing leads to the slow burn of the perfectly sustained note, your instrument should feel like an extension of your hands — effortless, expressive, yours.

Wood. Wire.
Soul.

Every curve shaped by hand. Every fret pressed by hand. Every guitar set up by the same hands that built it.

How a Guitar is Born

Every instrument follows a path worn smooth by more than a decade of making.

I
Consultation

I'll talk with you about your playing style, tonal goals, and how you want the guitar to feel in your hands.

II
Wood Selection

Choose from my hand-selected tonewoods, each picked for its resonance and character.

III
The Build

Six months of careful, unhurried work. Every joint, fret, and finish done only when the last step is perfect.

IV
Setup & Delivery

Your guitar arrives fully set up and ready to play, with documentation of every material used in its making.

Your Guitar,
Your Sound

An SRF guitar is a collaboration. You bring the vision — shredder, slow burner, or something in between — and I bring over a decade of craft to make it real.

  • Full tonewood selection from my curing stock
