For more than, 35 years I've been my heart into music and everything related putting with it. I've had the opportunity to use a variety of different instruments, amps and other gear during live shows and studio work. Thanks to extensive testing and research, I collected a great deal of experience in the areas of tone woods, pickups, hardware and strings. The knowledge I collected during those years allowed me to create musical instruments, amplifiers and accessories for the working musician whose functionality, tone and price /performance ratio are second to none. The constant development and improvement of my products will always remain my top priority.
