Doc Pittillo

David ‘Doc’ Pittillo—formal name: the Guitar Doctor—would likely get an honorary PhD if Guitarology was actually a course of study at an accredited academic institution.-.(Orange County Register)
Doc started at his craft as an apprentice for a guy who originally designed guidance systems for Apollo. He changed careers from a model-builder to a guitar builder. Doc apprenticed for him for five years before starting his own business.
Doc has also been designing guitars for years." My thing is semi-hollow electric guitars that are very linear at high volumes and very tone-y like a lot of the old guitars people are paying huge dollars for".

Pavel Maslowiec

Pavel is originally from Krakow Poland and came to the U.S. in 2000. In Poland, Pavel earned degrees in architecture and medicine. He learned his wood working skills building custom designed houses. After moving to orange county Pavel decided to build his own guitar that was similar to the Telecaster used by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. His first attempt ended up in the dumpster but that didn’t stop his dream of building guitars. He decided to buy a Telecaster and modify it. That is how he met Doc. Pavel asked Doc if he could use the shop to build his first guitar and Doc agreed. Pavels first guitar came out so good that Doc decided to keep him on at the Guitar Doctor and trained him as a luthier. Pavels second guitar was a custom chambered guitar for Allan Holdsworth.
