I have always loved music and guitars in particular. I started building guitars in 2012. I fell in love with the wood, the process and fine tuning the sound. It is truly a labor of love. I cannot keep every guitar I make so I started Scorpio Guitars & Ukuleles to offer offer some of these instruments to others. Each instrument is a personal expression. Owning an instrument that you helped create and you love to hold will take your playing to the next level.
Reach for the stars.
I have studied under Robert O'Brien (http://www.obrienguitars.com) Charles Fox (http://www.americanschooloflutherie.com/)
and Larry Robinson (https://www.robinsoninlays.com/)
I am a member of the Guild of American Luthiers and the Inland Northwest Luthiers Association.
I always strive for the highest quality and I back up what I sell with a limited lifetime warranty.
Need some work done on any guitar or ukulele? Give me a call, my rates are reasonable.

The headstock is almost done. Completed the inlay and glued the headplate to the neck blank. Cut the headplate to accept the nut. Lastly, carved the headstock shape. Next up, headstock binding.
And now for something completely different...
While waiting for the glue to dry on my headstock inlay, I added this Black & White Ebony bite-plate to a saxophone mouthpiece.

Used a drill press planer to rough in the neck and headstock thickness. I also completed some finish repairs on an ukulele I made about 4 years ago.
Made a neck blank. Routed a mortise into the body. Cut a tenon on the neck and fit it to the body. Also installed a carbon fiber reinforcement into the neck.
Finished carving the arm bevel. The body is essentially done. I started working on the fingerboard. After numerous attempts to bend the Ebony binding around the tight corners of the fingerboard, it was time for a new plan. I made a new fingerboard and cut a narrow channel around the edge, and inlayed a maple strip. I also cut some fingerboard position markers out of Tulip wood to match the body. I think take 2 looks pretty good.
