One of the few really great things I remember about growing up in Orange County California in the 1960's...

 Aside from Sunkist orange groves, drive-in-movies, transistor radios, skateboards with steel wheels,

a couple of girls whose names I've long since forgotten and the Rolling Stones on AM radio...

was the Fender Musical Instrument manufacturing facility in Santa Ana...

Important to note was Rickenbacker's facility in close striking distance. I recall riding my stingray bike past both places on a regular basis...

I could hear the sounds of people working not fully realizing the importance of what was transpiring inside...

Little did I know how pivotal they would play into my own life...

At that time rock-n-roll seemed more important than surfing and I was way too young to drive a car.  So I made a decision...

Let's rock... I never stopped...and neither should you...

At present I am located not too far from the location of the Fullerton Fender facility before they moved to Santa Ana. How cool is that?

 

We  Won't Get Fooled Again...

 

The shit I make is real...

It looks real ...it feels real ...it smells real...

it plays real...it doesn't come off a factory line

it's hand made jack...

in other words it's the real shit...

How Much do They Cost?

First off I only do complete builds...

I get asked a lot for necks and bodies sorry it 's just too much trouble...

please don't ask...

You see I get personally involved with each guitar....

If it doesn't meet my high standards then I destroy it rather than let an inferior guitar leave my bench...

•I have an average  base price of about

 

$1500.00 to $2500.00 USD which includes a case...

until we get serious with the design it could be more or less...

if it's less then I pass the savings on to you. If its more then I get your approval first...

These are serious guitars for people who are serious about the music they make...

•

•I charge you for my time which is very valuable to me. I don't have a big shop or production line...

I only have so many guitars built each  year and that's it...

•

•Just so you know I'm really easy to work with I'll be happy to work with you in any way I can...

Find out how easy it is to own one of these fine instruments...
