Integrity. Passion. Luthier Extraordinaire. Stuart is a Pittsburgh gem. With a very cool little shop newly opened in a very cool little neighborhood in south Pittsburgh, Stuart provides a level of mastery our town sorely needs. And while he's pushing the boundaries of luthiery in both aesthetics and form, he lends repair work that extends his craft to just about any instrument. His guitars are an art of brilliant tonality -- they are both unique and inspired, and you owe it to yourself to experience them first-hand. But the best part of Stuart is the way he lets you in, and listens, and has such enthusiasm for what he sees and hears on the basis of an experienced pedigree that includes the elite builders of this golden age of luthiery. It's intoxicating. And refreshing. If you need something fixed, or setup, or you're just curious -- go see him. And if you want something that truly honors, commission a guitar. I hope to one day. But in the meantime, there is nowhere else I'll go to have my guitars tweaked, honed and fixed. A very, very exciting resource and a guitarist's gentleman to engage, highly recommended. read more
