Mark Elliott
Mark Elliott's training and passion for woodworking started at a young age in the cabinet shop of his great Uncle Milton Carter. He then went on to the Feather River Door Co. in California. Mark became foreman there and in time four other cabinet shops. He went on later to own Elliott Mountain Furniture in Montana.
In his thirty years of professional experience he has produced fine custom cabinetry and entry systems for California business such as the Sierra Nevada Brewery, hospitals, schools, churches, public buildings including historical restoration for the Old Sacramento Train Station Museum and many homes including those of celebrities in California and Montana. Mark builds with love and it shows!
A word from Mark
As the lone builder for our little company, be assured that I build each guitar display case as if it were my own. I have been a professional woodworker and amateur musician for about thirty years and building guitar cases for the last ten. It’s kind of unheard of these days to have a product built by only one person but for our customers this means truly handcrafted guitar cabinets with personal attention to detail.
I love living in the Rocky Mountains of Montana. The winters here aren’t for everyone and can be very hard on guitars. Proper humidification for fine instruments is essential everywhere, but if you don’t take care here, your guitars will be ruined in one season. When the temperature outside is below zero for a week or so, all of the moisture is completely frozen and the air sparkles like diamond dust. The humidity gauge inside is so low it doesn’t even register. That’s when I really like to check out my guitar case. It’s always the same, 44% to 49%. It is because of conditions like this that I can offer these cases with such confidence. I know if they work well here they will work well anywhere.
It’s all about the seal, and that isn’t easy even for me. It’s always challenging, everything needs to be very true to pull the doors in tight. The results are doors that seal to themselves and the case. I get a lot of questions from people who would like to build their own guitar display case and although I wish them well with their projects, I can’t convey to them my years of door making experience. I now know, that without the years of making fancy entry systems, I would not be making these cases as well as they are.
We realize to some guitar players, what they put in their guitar case is more important then what they put in their garage. I know how important these cases are to our customers and how personal they become when they put their guitar collection in them. Please read our testimonials page and hear what they have to say, and to them, thank you for our livelihood, God bless and play on.
