About Stones

Stones has been living in sunny Johannesburg since 1995 with his wife and daughter. He has been working in IT since 1975 and has been playing the guitar since he was a young hippie. Stones’ interest in guitar building was sparked in 2006. He was partly inspired by Mervyn Davis, a well known South African luthier.

From there on, he bought a book and became a self-taught part-time guitar builder. In 2014 he attended a design and build your own guitar course at Mervyn Davis. Stones makes approximately three exquisite hand-built boutique guitars per year and envisages to increase the output when going on retirement.

Stones takes great pride in his hand work and uses only the best tone woods and quality parts from legitimate suppliers from across the world.
