Hi.  My name is Kevin Chubbuck and I make and repair guitars in an old building just north of Boston, Massachusetts.

Acoustic

Two steel string acoustic models are available.  The "Rogue" is an orchestra-sized body with a 15.25" lower bout.  The "Kalliope" is a jumbo with a 16" lower bout.  Options include cutaways, soundports, arm bevels, etc.

Kalliope 001 :: Ken Bonfield (tuning: DGDGBbD)

Hollowbody

The "Mousa" is an offset waist, double cutaway body and is my only hollowbody available at the moment (more designs coming soon).  This platform offers both fully-hollow and semi-hollow designs, both with a bent rim assembly (as opposed to chambering).

Mousa 003 :: Nick Swift (Bearly Dead)

Repair

In addition to making guitars, I offer full repair services ranging from setups to full restorations including finish.  Work is done on a variety of instruments (acoustic & electric), ranging from the high-end boutiques to production to vintage.
