For forty years, research and information gathering have been a constant.
From examining existing instruments to speaking with professional musicians, Bob deep dives to fully acquaint himself with the qualities of the guitar his client wants to play. From there, he develops a specific design program, which begins with drawings and moves to working prototypes and finally the finished product. Listening closely every step of the way, Bob strives to deliver the instruments his customers imagine.
