What if the greatest lessons about being human have been quietly waiting for us in the ordinary things we’ve overlooked?

For the past several months, I’ve been pouring my heart into a book unlike anything I’ve written before.

It’s not a memoir.

It’s not a self-help book.

It’s a journey through restoration, music, inner peace, and the quiet truths hidden in everyday life.

Today, I’m sharing the first complete chapter, The Workshop.

It begins with guitars…

But it isn’t really about guitars.

It’s about learning to listen.

About discovering that the symptom is rarely the problem.

About finding harmony—not only in the things we repair, but within ourselves.

If these words resonate with you, I’d be honored if you read the full chapter on my blog.

This is why I love being a Martin Guitar Service Center. I have access to the best team in the world. They helped me acquire a genuine peg head veneer plate and decal logo. Together we saved the life of this awesome acoustic bass guitar.

Hanging with Richard Rathbun when he picked up his guitar. We hand made a compensated saddle,gave it a killer setup with a level crown and polish….man can this guy play a guitar! I could sit here and listen to him for hours. Thanks again my friend.

In this craft, we never stop learning, never stop growing, and continuously refine our skills in pursuit of perfection. In the art of Luthiery, precise intonation is essential to an instrument’s success, and having the right tools is equally critical in achieving it.

Today, we upgraded from our Peterson StroboPlus HD to the desktop AutoStrobe 590. Here in our shop, our commitment to the highest standards and uncompromising workmanship never wavers.

Thank you, Peterson Tuners for helping us elevate our craft and continue our commitment of excellence to our clients.

Well, I have to say this is one of the coolest guitars I have ever had the pleasure of working on. An original 1930 Dobro. It came to me in pieces and was in really rough shape. We had to chase our tail fixing mistakes from a previous luthier, so it was no easy feat. It took a long time to get back to playing order but we did it…with a lot patience and love. I’m happy we saved this from ending up in the trash or burn pile. Hopefully it will last another 100 years.
