Torres's concepts were immediately adopted by other luthiers and formed the basis for the classical guitar's evolution ever since. In response to the changing needs of guitarists, the instrument's development has slowly drifted from Torres's design to where it is seeing a lot of reinvention today. I consider guitars from the era within two generations of Torres to have the most successful designs and to be the most complete, expressive musical instruments. Hence my personal inspiration as a luthier comes from rediscovering and reviving the ideas of these past masters, and applying them to my own work.

Scott guitars are not historical reproductions but are my carefully studied effort to capture the greatest qualities of the finest instruments in history. In a Scott guitar, there is no such thing as an unimportant detail. Each and every structural and aesthetic aspect is carefully considered and dialed in. It is important that each of my guitars is easy to play, displays a refined, timeless aesthetic, and above all, has the capacity for the fullest possible range of musical expression.

With every guitar, I strive to create an immaculate masterpiece for the eyes, ears and hands.

While I have your attention...

I also accept repair and restoration work on high end guitars. From french polishing, refretting, and crack gluing, to bridge replacements, neck resets and much more, let's talk about what you need.
