What this WebSite Is All About |
At The Guitar Workshop I produce about a dozen classical guitars each year. I also do repair work on almost all kinds of fretted instruments and customizing, particularly upgrading classical guitars to improve intonation. I do all the work myself...no apprentices. My guitars are sold around the world both direct from my workshop and by dealers in the U. S. and abroad. If you've visited this webSite in the past (or even if you haven't), you may want to check the News page first. That's where I post changes and additions to the site. I also put most anything else there that I consider newsworthy for fellow friends of the guitar. If I'm planning to attend an upcoming guitar event, I'll make that known on this page...perhaps we'll bump up against each other. Most of the customizing work I do on classical guitars is in the area of intonation, which is a special interest of mine. Almost any otherwise well-made guitar can be made to play in tune, even though most of them do not. There's a special Intonation Upgrades page on this if you'd like to find out more. The Forums page is a place for many things. You will find several articles I have written on the subject of luthiery over the years. If you have a question about luthiery in general, or my notions about it specifically, go to Forums. For fellow luthiers, there may be information on something new I have been working on with my guitars (or maybe a rotten idea I gave up on). And so on and so forth. The Contact page gives me a chance to talk with you, and vice versa. Luthing is lonesome sometimes, way out here in the country. Talk to me, World! If you want to comment about the luthier's sublime creativity on display in this webSite, or the color of my hair (is it platinum blond or just gray?), whatever, Contact's for you. This webSite has lots of photos and so should be viewed with a full-featured browser (Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer) in a minimum 800 x 600 display; if you have a 17" monitor, 1024 x 768 @ min. High Color (16 bit) is definitely the best. |
