I’ve been fascinated by guitars and how they make sound for most of my life. As a teenager I began performing basic repairs in a local music store, and after graduating high school I built my first flattop guitar under the guidance of Vermont Instruments school of luthiery. After receiving formal training in instrument repair as a member of Atlanta Guitar Works class of 2007, I worked in the greater Boston area until 2021 when I relocated my shop to western Maine, at the site of a former saw mill. I’m lucky to be near the White Mountain National Forest and I regularly hike and camp amongst some of the tree species that are found in my guitars. Feel free to get in touch with any questions about my shop or my work. -Alex Edney
