Surf Seattle is the moniker used upon reimagining other guitar brands. If we do something wild to a Squier, it will bare the name Surf Seattle!
Sam Yaeck. Resident Nut. Always busy.
Officially Established in 2020, and unofficially for much, much longer. Beginning as a hobby, guitar work has become a passion that is inspired by my years as a Theater Professional, woodworker, and musical artist. Through the years I have gathered the tools, knowledge, and experience to push this craft and myself beyond the limits of hobby work. As a Medical Professional I also understand that trust and honesty are a major component to this work. If I take on a project, it will be completed, and will not only be done to your satisfaction, it will also be done to mine. I hold myself to a higher standard than a "Tech or Hobbyist," and I hope to earn your trust as a professional.
