The art of creating handcrafted guitars is in Vinny’s blood.  Back on the Azorean Island of Faial his grandfather, Frank, made both guitars and mandolins.  During the 80s Vinny’s passion for all things guitar began.  Not only did he begin to play guitar, but his desire to see how a guitar works surfaced.  At first Vinny would tinker with the electronic components of his guitar.  This led him to doing his own repairs and maintain on his guitars.  Finally, Vinny decided to tackle making his own guitar.  When deciding what material to use for his guitar Vinny wanted to be original. After driving by an old mill that was being remodeled into condos he had an idea.  He chose to use reclaimed wood, like the wood from the old mill. All his guitars use reclaimed wood that ranges from 200 through 400 years old.  Because of this each handcrafted guitar is like a fingerprint, everyone is different.
