It was the early '80's , and at the age of 15, with a youthful passion for '60's garage punk , surf music , mid-century design & kustom car culture , I discovered the golden era of electric guitars from the 1950' - 60's . . . .
I specialize in the repair & restoration of unusual &
"off the wall" electric instruments . I am the creator of unusual retro styled stringed instruments , utilizing the reuse / recycling of old materials & found objects ,
ie: vintage formica tables, toilet seats, weathered / found wood, plexiglass, aluminum, misc. guitar vintage parts , etc.
I've also created various product designs for the current Danelectro company:
*Dan-o-Wah & Wasabi pedals,
*Rumor bass, Innuendo & Hearsay guitars , various graphic designs ,
And have built instruments for some featured players. . .
Boz Boorer , ( Morissey ) Doubleneck guitar / baritone , etc.
Peter Buck , R.E.M. - Electric Sitar , Mando Cello , 9 string
Billy Bragg , Mando cello , 9 string , etc.

& many more to list. . . .
Who I'd like to hear from;
People who love unusual music , Appreciators of strange , unique , & artistic electric instruments, owners & players of past creations I've built (SEND PICS! thx!), All musicians , artists , crafts people & other likely characters , especially those who make up their own rules & create from their own imagination, heart , soul, and passion or . . .insanity . Anyone interested in owning one of my instruments. . .
