I was introduced to guitar building at a local community college, Cégep Edouard-Montpetit, I built my first acoustic guitar there, and then made the switch to building electric guitars. Inspired by the work of Ned Steinberger, I started to experiment with headless designs. The last version of which is now the Stray Guitar.

The Stray Guitar is a great platform to work from. It allows me the opportunity to experiment with different tone woods and pickups. The Stray Guitar is also built with unique hardware components that were designed specifically for this instrument.

Above all, I strive to create a musician's tool that is full scaled, full featured, and that is compact and portable.
