About Chris Wood and Chris Wood Guitars from http://www.chriswoodguitars.com/
Chris has been making things - all kinds of things - from boyhood. Typical of boys who grew up in the 60s, Chris began making model cars and airplanes from an early age. By the time he was a teenager, cars had become his main preoccupation. As a child growing up in Kansas, Chris found that he took after his Grandpa Red, a heavy equipment mechanic who possessed an innate and finely-honed ability to fix things. When he met his wife, a lifelong guitarist, he wondered if he could make a guitar for her, and the answer was... of course! With a broad grasp of the world of tools and how they work, and having been blessed with very fine hand skills, Chris has been able to conceive of — and make — just about anything he thinks of, so why should making a guitar be any different!
