As a cabinetmaker and player, repairing and setting up guitars seemed to come naturally.

For a long time now, I have wanted to construct a concert quality steel strung acoustic with a detachable neck, to facilitate transport problems, and have finally got round to starting it. Working out the neck joint design took almost three years waiting for inspiration to strike. There have been other instruments built with a similar concept, notably by Rick Turner and Andy Manson, but none of the neck joints seemed quite right to me.

Now that I have finally completed construction of my own workshop, the first one should be completed within the next couple of months.
