About Me

Check out www.guitarsbyjake.com Fine Hand crafted electric guitars built with pride in the U.S.A!.............................I build guitars completely by hand, using high quality tone woods and other components. I even make my own pickups. I enjoy doing things the old fashion way, with a hammer and chisel, a spokeshave, rasps and files, and other tools of the trade. I believe that when a guitar is made by one person from start to finish, there is something different about it. I cant describe it, but it doesnt feel like any other guitar. It seems to have its own personality. This is what makes lutherie so rewarding. I hope to keep doing this for as long as I can swing a hammer. And then, I hope to pass it on to my children, so they too can feel what it is like to put some thing into this world that came from their heart and soul...
