In 2003 I used my GI bill money (college money from the army) to choose a profession.
Most people choose something that will benefit themselves later in life.
Instead, I chose to go to a guitar building school.
Ever since then, i’ve been either working as an apprentice to other luthiers
and/or running my own guitar repair shop and building guitars on the side, while
working at least one other full time job.
I’ve recently built a shop to build guitars at my leisure,
where I can focus my attention on them during my “non-treasure hunting days”.
If interested in seeing more about this whole project, including the construction of the
shop and the actual guitars, you can visit the official KleshGuitars Youtube page
and of course kleshguitars.com
