Robert Hamm

Eighteen-year Guild member Robert Hamm has a lifetime interest in the classical guitar, having attended a Segovia concert as a teenager in the 1960s. Lutherie mentors include Jeffrey Elliott, Dan Biasca, Cyndy Burton, and Greg Oxreider. His life of building traditional classical guitars began when he attended the (free) public exhibition at the 2006 GAL Convention, where he spoke with Jeff Elliott and others, and left with an armful of wood. That moment taught him the value of Guild membership. Besides, attending GAL Conventions lets him think he is not completely crazy.
