David Teske has a long history with woodworking. He started playing guitar at 8 years old on a Bentley acoustic and a few years later he began making furniture with his father. Together they made beautiful wood tables, chairs, cabinets, and more. At 18, David became curious about the construction of instruments, which lead to him repairing his own instruments and eventually making his own instruments.
Over the years he's crafted banjos, ukuleles, violins, and countless guitars. For a time he also designed and built custom commercial furnishings. In 2003, David started his career with Heritage Guitars, a boutique guitar company housed in the original Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI and founded by former Gibson employees after the company relocated to Nashville in 1984.
After starting out in body assembly, he moved through various areas of the factory and was able to gain knowledge of the entire process by working with well-seasoned craftsmen, many of which had a hand in crafting some of the most valuable guitars ever made.
