I unapologetically refute any conflict between time dedicated to beautiful craftsmanship and time devoted to acoustic refinement. I see no purpose in classical guitarists restraining their creative impulse. No matter how subtle or extraordinary, let's take courage and create an instrument of artistic rapture - a timeless expression of imagination and acoustic perfection.

Obviously, there is no way to duplicate the value of vintage instruments from the history's highly venerated luthiers. One thing that I can do is work tirelessly to build meaning into every detail of my special projects. I have always aimed to avoid gimmicks because I understand that, for many classical guitar enthusiasts, ornamentation and modern engineering ideas that deviate from tradition do all too often add a superficial value. Those that know great guitars the best have a great appreciation for the simplicity that undergirds their efficacy. This fundamental attribute is at the heart of every guitar I build regardless of how they're embellished.
