Heatley Guitars:
I first became interested in guitars when I was around 5 years old. That was when I saw my first electric guitar in person. I remember being awe struck, abnormally fascinated with this mysterious instrument. It wasn't until years later, at the age of 12, that I learned how to play. Soon my curiosity got the best of me and I started taking guitars apart and rebuilding them. I wanted to learn every aspect of the guitar. From wires and wood to set-ups and construction. I also spent a good part of my youth in my room playing.
From that grew Heatley Guitars. Started in 1997 with the help of my family and the trust of my first customers' word spread from New York to Hong Kong. Thanks to the Internet the company has grown from a small 15' by 15' room to a full sized shop with modern CNC technology.
From day one, my goal has been to provide the customer with a superior instrument at a reasonable price. To build to the tightest of tolerances and with the finest attention to detail, an instrument that becomes part of you when you play it. The ultimate tool for expression. Each instrument is painstakingly crafted to the specifications and desires of the individual. Therefore, every Heatley guitar is unique. No two are identical ...

Es ist nicht meine Art, über meine Instrumente große Worte zu machen. Sie mögen für sich selbst sprechen, zur Freude der Musiker und Zuhörer.
Meine Aufgabe ist es, die Komponenten wie Klangvorstellung, Holzwahl, kunstfertige Verarbeitung und Ästhetik, mit Erfahrung zu einem charaktervollen Instrument zu komponieren.
Der Musiker “öffnet“ das Instrument, haucht ihm Leben ein. So wird das Instrument eine Quelle der Inspiration sein ...
The following pages should give a small look into my work as guitar luthier. Each instrument is built by hand and is a unique instrument which possesses its own "personality".
It is not in my style to use big words to describe my instruments. They may speak for themselves bringing joy for the musician and the listener.
My job is to take the components such as tone expectations, choice of woods, artistic and esthetic touch, together with experience, to compose an instrument of full character.
The musician "opens" the instrument and breathes life into it. Through this act the instrument becomes a well of inspiration ...
