Scott builds instruments in Santa Cruz, a little South of San Francisco.  He is well known and very respected amongst the Grateful Dead musician community.  I previously owned one of his guitars.  Beautiful instrument, great build quality.  Very influenced by the Grateful Dead / Alembic.  I sold it because my hand kept hitting against the wide flares on the bottom of the headstock.   

Bill, tgo

Scott does build some very lovely instruments. He visited our previous location a couple times. Very nice guy!

He's built some really sweet acoustic guitars too.
