Contact Dogwood Guitars

I am semi-retired from full-time lutherie work.

Many have asked if I will still accept work. The short answer is yes!

For over forty years I have put my customers first. Now in semi-retirement, I am putting my family, friends, and myself first. That said, I am accepting setup and repair work at my discretion and at a lighter pace. To speak with me about your needs, please contact me using one of the methods below:

Email: dogwoodguitars@gmail.com.

Text message to: 614 348-2147 (You’ll get an auto-reply but I will see your message and respond.)

Call: 614 348-2147 and leave a message.

I wish to thank from the bottom of my heart all those who have supported me for over fifteen years, who have trusted me with their valued instruments, and who have shown me friendship. I love you all!
