Chris Pederson - Owner / Builder

I fell in love with the timbre and feel of the bass at a young age and I became a bass player in the late 80s. My original focus was on writing and performing, all while gathering up as much music as I could get my ears on and going to as many live shows as I could scrounge up the money for. With hundreds of stage performances, dozens of studio recording sessions, and more than a few bands under my belt, I've developed an understanding of the bass guitar and it's potential in music. As I've grown older, my interests in woodworking have developed and manifested as a love for lutherie, and it has shifted my focus from playing to building. I've been building since 2013 and my designs include my standard 4 & 5 strings, a 7 string multi-scale hybrid bass/baritone (Bassitone), and even a lap steel that I designed at the request of a friend. My next design will likely be a baritone guitar.
