Jon Simpson began playing guitar at age twelve and took up woodworking in his early twenties. Those two paths crossed in 2006 when he sketched his first body pattern, made the first mold, and was officially bitten by the lutherie bug. He keeps his chops up on the weekends while working a day job as an animator (in Iowa, even; who knew?), and aspires to build guitars full-time within the next few years.
