SAM

I repair and restore all fretted stringed instruments, including acoustic guitars, electric guitars, banjos, mandolins, violins, violas, double bass, cellos... I am the founder and sole luthier at Bad Water Guitars. Guitar building and repair has been my passion, and my work for over 15 years. In 2000 I took and apprenticeship in fretted instrument and orchestra instrument repair and restoration under Scott Robertson and Timothy Johnson of Midland, MI. After attending the Galloup School of Luthiery in Big Rapids, MI, I worked as a Luthier for Robertson Guitars of Midland, MI, and as a Full time acoustic Luthier for McPherson Guitars in Sparta, WI.
