About Jensen Guitars I Started building instruments back around 1992 when I was working for H.B.Woodsongs in Boulder, Colorado. I had acquired an early 70s Guild D-35 that had seen better days. After completely restoring the instrument I brought it into work to show off my handy work when I ran into Harry Fleishman. He told me it looked factory and said "now you are a builder" I told him that I only refinished it and he said thats the hardest part, the rest is basic construction. Well that was the hook for me, I immediately began making plans for my next project.....to build my own guitar from scratch. And thats what I did, of course it had taken me the next year or so to finish since I was part timing it and building all my jigs as I went. The finished product was not perfect, but I was told when I brought it to work that "its the nicest first guitar I've ever seen" by an old friend and then mentor, John Eaton of Woodsongs Lutherie. Here is that guitar.
