Clayton Pledger spent most of his childhood playing guitar. As he got older, and wanted to get back into it, he discovered that finding a guitar that suited his specific and finicky nature was extremely difficult. Having years of woodworking experience, with a passion for quality, attention to detail, and everything done mindfully in this world, he decided to build his own. Now he remains hooked on the process of using wood to create a voice.

Clayton lives in Portland Oregon where he enjoys tending to his bees, playing with his daughter, making delicious food, and an occasional swim in an ice cold river.
