The Workshop is actually a two car garage on the side of the house that is chock full of tools, bins of hand made parts, a spray booth and everything else required to build a steel guitar.

A double neck steel is made up of 1300-1400 pieces, each one hand-crafted from aircraft quality aluminum, stainless steel, wood and plated steel for the legs. They take anywhere from 150 to 250 hours to make.

Besides making his own steel guitars, Ed also makes his own volume pedals, seats, covers, anvil cases, leg pouches, noiseless cords and tone bars. He also does repair and service on all makes of steel guitars, including updating old mechanisms, refinishing bodies and polishing.
