Mike Fleck began building and repairing guitars in the early 1990s while still at school. He went to work for Parker guitars in 1996 before establishing his own guitar repair workshop in Anchorage, Alaska in 2001. Fleck has distilled his 20 year experience of repairing all kinds of guitars into the design of his Fleck Electric guitar which he makes single handedly at his Anchorage workshop. His technical expertise is sought after by other builders (like Dana Bourgeois) for whom Mike sometimes manufactures guitar components - his workshop blog exhibits some of his ingenious guitar making inventions and techniques.
