Fifty years of making things.

I built my first piece of furniture before I was old enough to drive. By the time I was twenty I was doing custom cabinetry. By thirty I'd moved into architectural millwork — the kind of work where one miscut burns a week.

Somewhere in the middle of that, I started writing software. I spent forty years in the industry, most of them as an executive. The two trades fed each other in ways I didn't expect — both reward precision, iteration, and knowing exactly where the tolerances live.

Neumann Guitar is where all of those threads finally tied together. Hand tools, CNC, Fusion 360, a planer, a router, fifty years of muscle memory. Every guitar that leaves the shop was designed, cut, finished, and set up by one person.
