JARRETT GUITARS LLC APPOINTS NEW LEAD TECH

Jarrett Guitars LLC is delighted to announce the appointment of Robert "Cue" Gerhards as lead tech for their US built Platinum Series hand carved line of custom guitars.

Gerhards was an integral part of the Brian Moore Custom Shop for over 13 years, and brings a wealth of finishing, woodworking and guitar building talents to the company. His magnificent finish work has been seen on many high end boutique instruments from such noted builders as Stuart Spector, Joe Veillette, Jeff Babicz and Harvey Citron. His responsibilities will include overseeing the final assembly of such Jarrett models as the Premier Guitar magazine award winning Zaffiro, as well as the Forza, Colibri, Ibiza, and Monserrat.

Jarrett Guitars Managing Partner Jack Camarda said, "The addition of Cue Gerhards to our building staff gives us a greater dimension of expertise in the design and construction of our custom instruments. He's not only a highly skilled builder but an accomplished player as well, and can immediately relate to any technical challenge. Needless to say we are thrilled to get a guy of Cue's talents and energy."

Cue will continue to operate Gerhards Guitarworks, a custom repair shop he founded in 2007 in addition to his duties with Jarrett. Cue@gerhardsguitarworks.com.
