About Tim Steis:
My journey with the guitar started first as a player in high school. I chose to pursue a performance degree at Florida State University under Bruce Holzman. It was here that I decided to build my first guitar. For my first four guitars, I was entirely self-taught, seeking the occasional guiding hand via email correspondence from fellow luthiers Steven Walter, Barth Bennitt, and Steve Connor.
Upon graduation, I moved to Northern Virginia to pursue a Master's degree in performance with Julian Gray at Shenandoah Conservatory. During my time at SU I met Ross Gutmeier, a renowned Baltimore luthier, and apprenticed in his shop for roughly 6 months. I attribute most of my growth as a builder during this period of my life to the knowledge I gained during my time with Gutmeier.
Currently, I build out of my home in Madison, Wisconsin.
