John Hall's love for the acoustic guitar and a trip to the C.F. Martin Guitar factory brought him to the world of lutherie. As he learned the lutherie trade he saw a need for good jigs and fixtures for affordable machines useful to the pro luthier and the hobbyist acoustic guitar builder. He used his training as a machinist to design and build guitar fixtures and improve existing ones. Blues Creek Guitars supplies guitar molds to many guitar shops including C.F. Martin Guitars. Blues Creek Guitars offers the universal bending machine, similar to the Fox design, with some modifications, Tom Ribbeke's universal binding jig with a few improvements as well as many lutherie tools and guitar parts. In addition to Blues Creek Guitars' YouTube tutorials and written tutorials on www.BluesCreekGuitars.com, you can learn from Master Luthier, John Hall, at his shop.
