MEET SCOTT
 Scott  began tinkering with electronics at an early age. In his early teens he began playing guitar and experimenting with pickups.  Fifteen years later he found himself working alongside luthier Richard Hoover, of Santa Cruz Guitar Company, studying acoustic guitar construction. At Santa Cruz Guitar Company he hand carved over 1000 necks. During this time he carved necks for artists such as Tony Rice and Norman Blake. Custom neck carving became his specialty. While mastering every aspect of neck construction he took on other responsibilities as the Shop Foreman. These included  all phases of guitar construction, wood management and tool maintenance.                                     

 At this time he began developing an electric guitar for the 21st century. After meeting musician Barry Sless, he began to develop an instrument that had the broadest tonal range available.  After five years he opened shop and offered his guitars to the public.                                                                          

 During his pursuit to develop an electronic package to incorporate into these instruments, he began working with electronic wizards Peter Miller and John Cutler. The collaboration between Scott, John, Peter, Barry and Mr. Kimock has led to the current design now available as a standard on  all instruments. The input from these individuals has been key into unlocking the new frontier in Hi-Fi guitar electronics.

  Scott continues to work at Santa Cruz Guitar Company, part time, spraying Nitrocellulose and mastering the art of fine finish.
