 Info click here to view more info

( from listing's site ) - Doc's Stringed Instruments is a proverbial "one man show".  By nature somewhat a recluse, the concept of building instruments by the thousands in a factory employing dozens of workers is simply foreign to me. My desire is to build each instrument myself, by hand, to the best of my ability. Plain and simple.
