Starr's Talent Pool

---

Kip, guitar player since age 10, has been a lifelong fan of all things guitar, performance and building alike. In an effort to create instruments that were not easily available, he created Starr Guitars in early 2003 in his garage. He was extremely passionate about how they looked so he set out to learn all he could about the finishing aspects and dove deep into custom guitar finishing. This led to becoming an industry go-to when other builders needed their work finished and when the home-builder community needed something special. 

His passion for building has never waned and we are proud to make as many Starr Guitars as we can, as often as we can. 

Business partner, musician, listener, consultant, financial advisor to Starr and to hundreds of clients for a large firm, Ken's financial and business background are a solid compliment to Kip's craftwork.  Over a decade of working together as friends and colleagues, they have built a solid foundation for Starr Guitars to stand on. Ken is both a music lover and a passionate guitar player and his love of the guitar itself is what brought him to the fold.
