Jason Watkins recently transplanted from Hawaii to Sisters and is bringing along his set-up knowledge. He was an apprentice under master luthier Chris Davis of BR Fret Shop in Honolulu for several years. His production chops come from the high-end boutique shop – Kanile’a Ukuleles – where he was a final assembly tech. He is looking forward to learning all aspects of luthiery and perfecting the processes we have here at Thompson guitars.
His wife and sweet dog will be exploring Oregon this summer and are happy to set up shop in our little town of Sisters.
