Q: Are your guitars handmade? 
     A: While our building process does include LOTS of traditional, "by-hand" procedures, we do embrace technology in our endeavors. Things like electric light, the motor-car, and yes, CNC technology enable us to bring to the player, a more consistent, more affordable, and arguably better instrument than if we were carving them with knives by candle light. It is also important to note that MOST "hand made" instruments are produced using tools of some kind. Whether it's a rudimentary carving knife or a Computer Numerically Controlled machine, it is still simply an extension of its operator's skill, experience, and creativity.
