Voicing the top
Bracing patterns, tap tones, and the balance between stiffness and flexibility — shaping a soundboard that responds.
Handcrafted acoustic guitars
Built for touch, tone, and the quiet details.
Small-shop acoustic guitars shaped one at a time — pairing expressive woods, refined craftsmanship, and a modern fingerstyle voice, in Seattle, WA.
Where engineering precision meets the maker's hand — acoustic instruments built deliberately, voiced carefully, and finished without compromise.

The builder
An engineer's eye. An artist's instinct.
Twenty-five years as a Technical Artist in the games industry — bridging code and visual craft — built an intuition for spatial problems, material detail, and the gap between "close enough" and right. Churchill Street Guitars is where that sensibility meets wood, string tension, and sound.”
