"I started Giffin Guitars in England, where it existed in various forms from the late 60's up until the mid-80's. During those years I was fortunate enough to hook up with a lot of very good musicians. This gave me the opportunity and encouragement to design and build guitars that became widely accepted in England at that time. It became the hotspot for people seeking great guitars and guitar service. Regular customers included Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend and John Entwhistle (The Who), Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Andy Summers (The Police) David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), and many more. In the late '70s, I was designing a prototype guitar that became the Steinberger ‘M’ Series. It was because of this guitar that I was offered the job to run Gibson's West Coast custom shop in Los Angeles. I needed a change at that point, and jumped at this opportunity. So, in 1988 I moved to California. Once in L.A. and , employed by Gibson, I started building Gibson Custom instruments and fronting the Gibson West Coast repair shop. During this time, I built many different Gibson custom guitars, while the "Giffin" side of things was "on a slow burner." The client list during this time included names like Eddie Van Halen, Joe Walsh, Peter Frampton, Jimmy Page and Malcolm Young, among many others. I ran the Gibson custom shop up until Dec. '93 together with my co-worker and good friend Gene Baker. At that point it was decided that the whole Gibson operation was to be moved to Nashville. In early 94', my partner Brett Allen and I started R&B instrument Services (on Sunset Blvd.). For the next three years we were kept very busy mainly on repairs and service. Then, in the spring of '97, I branched out on my own again In July 2004, I moved once again, and am now operating from Portland, Oregon. I continue to maintain, as always, the very highest hand built standards for my instruments. I feel that my hands-on approach to guitar building still gives me the greatest satisfaction, and it allows me to produce unique and individual instruments." Additional Information
