Sheldon Schwartz has been making acoustic guitars since 1992 - when he enrolledin David Freeman's guitar building course at Timeless Instruments. Shortly after the course he rented a space in a cabinetmaker's shop in Toronto and built three more acoustic guitars - seeking help and guidance from nearby guitar makers Grit Laskin and Linda Manzer. In 1995 he spent a weekend learning with Kent Everett at his shop in Atlanta. He continued making and refining his guitars and guitar building process: using the information from the different guitar builders in ways that suited how he wanted to build guitars. In 2002 he moved into a new shop: an 1800 sq. ft. building, built specifically for guitar making.
