25+ years ago, armed with a corded drill, a few drill bits, and absolutely no understanding of what I was about to attempt, I set out to install a brand new Kahler tremolo system in my Series A strat.

I was hooked!

Now granted, I absolutely ruined a perfectly good guitar, but born inside was a desire to learn what it takes to build a great guitar. Four years of touring full time taught me what worked and what didn't, what felt good, and what lasted the set! Numerous years of repairing other peoples guitars has brought a colourful palette of experience to the table. And hours of conversations with other guitarists has inspired me to this time and place;

Klassen Guitars. Hand-built, high quality, highly customizable pieces of art!
