I've known Chris since second grade. Back then he was a talented model maker ,building balsa wood models that look like they could have been put in a magazine. As mentioned in the video Chris is an awesome painter. I have some of his work hanging in my house. The guitars that he's been building for the last 20 or so years are some of the most outstanding I have ever seen. What a talent he has been his whole life. Anyone who buys one of those guitars is buying a treasure that will be passed on for Generations. Great job Chris I look forward to seeing your future masterpieces!!

I always enjoy happenstance videos popping up in my feed, especially when they introduce master craftsmen creating quality guitars. I really enjoyed this and would love to explore one of his guitars someday. Thanks!

This is an awesome video. Great content AND sound quality. I’ve known Chris more than 30 years and have long admired his passion for wood working and, notably, building guitars. A true luthier (yes, he taught me that word years ago). I’m so pleased to see his work being shared with a wider audience. Oh, and he’s a great guy to boot!

Hi Chris, I am a beginner acoustic guitar builder & can relate to how you explain the wood tones, texture & art. Your guitars are beautifully& tastefully designed. I have been building things out of wood for over 50 years. So far lately I have built 6 Martin D28 jumbo acoustic copies for my family. I live in New Brunswick Canada & getting inspired by people like you who share their passion to build guitars. Thank you for time & consideration. Vic

Wonderful. Please follow up with sound samples. Really essential when speaking about designing and making musical instruments.

Love the original designs, not just another ES copy.
