Background🔗

There's a full write up where you can read about this project in more detail. The high level summary is that a few years ago I got injured while skiing, and wasn't able to walk for about a year, which is when I started a series of music projects. This guitar was the last of those.

Articles🔗

Because this project was completed before this site was made, there's just the final write up.
