About the Luthier
  My name is Jerry Mis, and I have been  building guitars  
since 1968. I am a Luthier , Journeyman Toolmaker,
Manufacturing Engineer, and Guitar Enthusiast.
It all began with a Supro guitar and Danelectro Cadet amp that my father brought home in 1963. I learned to play basic MelBay stuff, but when the Beatles came on the scene, that was it! I was hooked! The Supro was not the most playable thing, so Dad and I went about making it look and play better.  That was the start of a lifelong journey into guitar care.
I built my first guitar from scratch in 1968, one year before Stewart MacDonald started business, so getting parts was a real chore! The result was a cherry burst Les Paul 12 string, with 2 Lafayette pickups. I took second place in the state with that guitar. Many more were to follow.
I have been taught by some of the best in the business: Frank Ford, Dan Erliwine, Seymour Duncan, Jeff Traugott, Thomas Humphrey, Brian Galloup, Buzz Feiten and Greg Back, just to name a few.
Some of my more notable clients are:
Ted Nugent
Chris Campbell (Silver Bullet Band)
Cub Coda (Brownsville Station)
Jonah Clayton (Bandera)
Boudleaux Allen

Many more to come.
