Kurt Jaeckle
Kurt initially pursued Lutherie as a healthy diversion from his main job as a Mayo Clinic physician, but now has transitioned into performing guitar repairs and new builds full time. He began repairing guitars in college, and for the past 20 years has performed repairs of all types on acoustics and electrics, including vintage and newer instruments. Kurt developed his background skills in woodworking and refinishing, and later trained in building under Kent Everett in 2003, followed by refinement of soundboard voicing skills under Ervin Somogyi in 2007. Kurt prides himself in careful, precise and professional repair of instruments, and is a Martin & Co. Certified, Authorized repair technician, and also a Taylor Guitars Certified repair technician. Kurt is also a guitar player, with over 50 years experience.
For custom guitars, Kurt prides himself in working directly with the customer to design an instrument which meets the needs and experience of the musician, tailoring the instrument to the guitarist’s playing style and application. Each instrument is carefully constructed from the finest available woods and materials. Each guitar is constructed by Kurt by hand, one at a time. Our main goal is to design and build an instrument that the accomplished guitarist will treasure for many years to come.
