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.
