"Doug - Thanks For All The Great Work"

"Doug has worked on every one of my guitars, from a one of a kind D'Angelico Electric, to my traveling Cort Joe Beck Models; from a Martin Acoustic to a rare Esteso Classical. They all sound great and the workmanship is second to no one! Proper !"
- Joe Beck

 

I've known Joe for more than ten years now.  He is truly on of the the great unsung guitar heroes of our time.
I have been lucky to know him.  I am proud to consider him a mentor, client and a good friend.  I have learned more about music in one afternoon with him (and there have been more than we both probably care to mention) than a lifetime of studying music.
