Carefully shaping sounds as a working musician
while also doing guitar repairs, mainly commissioned
by a local shop, led to the study of shaping the actual
soundshapers themselves as the inevitable next step.
After all, if it's THAT sound you're looking for, why
settle for anything else?

Complete stringed instruments were built in order to
gain as much experience as possible even if it meant
taking classes by a professional instructor sometimes.
Especially in the field of electronics, a professional
course turned out to be indispensable; understanding
how different elements in a chain INTERACT will help
you to decide what kind of adjustments to make.

Meanwhile a regular job remained a necessity due to
the lack of any serious cash flow from these activities.
However, whether it's repairing, restoring, rebuilding
or even recycling someone's instrument, it can be
rewarding in its own way just as well, so an older
example has been included in the workshop section too.
