A lifelong guitar player and lover of all things audio, I've enjoyed a satisfying career in audio and electronics. First as a stereo repair technician, then as the owner of a professional audio company supplying sound reinforcement for rock shows, live theater and sporting events. I worked for over 20 years in product development and business management for a couple of well-known audio brands. Free at last from the corporate world, I founded The Inventing Shed in 2006 where I combine my music, guitar and electronics background with a love of wood-working. What could be better?

I specialize in semi-hollow and solid custom bodies with exotic wood tops for bolt-on guitars. I build complete custom electrics too and provide repair and modification services for my client's instruments. My strong electronics background allows me to offer repair and modification services for amplifiers and related musical electronics products.

Services include:

• Custom electric bodies
• Complete custom electric guitars
• Luthier services; fretwork, custom wiring, Tremolo installs, etc.
• Amplifier repair/modification, tube amp specialist.
• Authorized Buzz Feiten Tuning System retrofitter
• Authorized Earvana Compensated tuning System dealer/installer
• Authorized MightyMite Dealer
• Authorized Warranty service provider for Fender products
  • (acoustic & electric guitars and amplifiers)
    

The New England Luthiers is an association of professionals and amateurs brought together by a common love of making stringed instruments
