About

8West Guitars is a one person shop based in the Mile High City.  I started playing guitar in grade school, travelling to Dead and JGB shows in high school, and enrolled in Red Rocks Community College's fine woodworking program about 25 years ago after graduating from law school.   Having pursued those interests ever since, eventually it all rolled into one, and I've been building a limited number of Doug Irwin and Jerry-inspired guitars ever since.  Bob
