About Me

I picked up an ukulele a few years ago and haven't looked back.  I am a music minister in a church and have found it to be a new avenue of music ministry.  After playing a bit, I looked around for a more advanced instrument.  There were many choices available, but not "exactly" what I was looking for.  In my internet search, I came across a wonderful guitar and ukulele builder, Jay Lichty.  I even had the pleasure of meeting him at his shop in North Carolina.   After talking with him, I decided to build one for myself.  You will see a strong influence of his style and look in my instruments.  I encourage you to check him out too.  https://lichtyguitars.com/ukuleles/

I think most players fall into the category in which I find myself...an intermediate/advanced player with a desire to own an advanced instrument.  So, now that I have built many instruments, I am excited to offer folks the option of a very fine professional quality CUSTOM BUILT instrument for a very good price.  

I am now a luthier (lü-thē-ər, -tē-ər) noun: one who makes stringed musical instruments.  I'd love to build one for you.
