About Don Sharp
Don Sharp began building handmade guitars in 1988, living near the Martin Guitar factory. Don visited the factory many times. The more he visited, the more he wanted to learn to build a guitar with its own unique sound. The more he played, the more he wanted a guitar that suited his own playing style.
In 1988, Don built his first guitar from scratch. No kits.
Constantly the student, he continues to learn and draws inspiration from respected luthiers in the guitar building community. Through their influence, Don has created his own "signature sound" which he describes as "refined and well-balanced with extra sparkle."
