Julia Guitars

Just a dad making guitars in his garage.

I am software engineer in my 30s living in Phoenix, Arizona. I've been building guitars for about 3 years now. I started playing guitar about 20 years ago and I have been building things my entire life - mainly robotics/hardware and software. Guitar building seemed like a good mix of my hobbies. Julia is my daughter and my brand was named after her :)

Building guitars has been my first dive into woodworking and I absolutely love it. I learned guitar building by reading blog posts, watching YouTube videos, and a bit of experimentation. I don't have any formal training, but would love to share what I've learned with the community!
