John's lifelong love of woodworking merged with his love of music back in the 90's when he began repairing guitars. After several years of rebuilding and repairing instruments he started building them from scratch. Using only top quality materials and old-school craftsmanship John builds each St. Mary guitar by hand at his shop in Tucson, Arizona. Neck and body woods are carefully selected and matched to create one of a kind guitars that produce a tone far superior to machine made factory guitars. Starting with traditional designs, each guitar is carefully sculpted and fine tuned to bring out the absolutely best sound possible.
Handmade custom St. Mary guitars crafted from the finest select hardwoods.
Handmade Cajon drum boxes and mini-snare Cajongos (Part cajon, part bongos)
