The world of lutherie is constantly changing with more efficient and less damaging ways to perform repairs discovered all the time. Motcheck guitars keeps up with a network of Luthiers all over the world to stay up to date with the latest innovations and skills.

Sustainable wood sources without compromising quality.
Whenever possible I source lumber from local Michigan lumber yards who harvest trees in the same state. For my tops I typically use Sitka Spruce, which I source from a small supplier in Alaska that specializes in tone wood for stringed instruments. For more of the exotic tone woods I source as needed from various places, all of which prioritize quality and sustainability.
