The shop is nestled in the trees near a couple of lakes near Shelton Washington, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. To be more specific, the shop is actually Scott's garage and is stuffed full of woodworking equipment, benches, tools, and guitar supplies.

Being such a small operation helps to keep costs down. Since the shop isn't 10,000 square feet full of $20,000 CNC machines, you are assured a great guitar at an honest price.

We buy our parts in bulk at dealer prices so we can offer a custom made guitar at an affordable price. If a customer would like something other than what we normally outfit our guitars with, we will install the requested components at cost. No extra charge. No gouging. We're just making a living building guitars, we ain't getting rich.

Maybe one day we will offer neckthru models or ones with fancy inlays and bindings, but as of late that just isn't cost effective. We won't be charging over a $2000 for a guitar anytime soon with maybe the exception of a custom carved guitar, although we have gotten very close with a few of the wilder "theme" guitars we have done.

I bought my first guitar at 16 and started playing professionally at 21. From the beginning, I was always modifying and hot-rodding my guitars to make them look cooler and play better. Now in my 40s, I have graduated to making the instruments I could only dream of when first starting out.

Part of my drive comes from remembering what it was like to want a really cool looking guitar, but only having enough coin to afford hock shop crap. Inevitably, I ended up with substandard guitars, but with my interest in art, I was able to make the instruments look great. I still own my first guitar, but it would be totally unrecognizable by any former owner.

After playing and tweaking guitars for years, I started building them in my 30s. Now, in my 40s, I wish I had started in my 20s. I love it. I've toured all over playing live music. Building a guitar is the only thing that comes close to that feeling. I guess, in a way, I get to live vicariously through the instruments I create.

Scott is not only an accomplished luthier and musician, but he is quite an artist too. He often does logo designs and other needed artworks for customers' bands.

Over the years he has done murals, portraits, signage, advertising, and computer graphics. Here are a few examples of some of the computer generated graphics he has done
