PAT FOSTER GUITARS

This all started with my first woodworking project in the 1950s at the age of 7. I first started working on stringed instruments in the mid 1970s, doing repairs and rebuilding derelicts and selling them to get through school. The secrets held by those old icons of stringed instrument tradition were revealed when their backs and tops were removed, either from damage or for repairs. They taught me what works and-more importantly- what doesn't. Around 1980, I took a long hiatus from stringed instruments for a career in mechanical design and to raise a family. Later, in 2005, I decided to build myself a guitar, thinking I could save money. The guitar was a success, though saving money was not, but that guitar opened up a new world of wood and sound for me...
