My name is Takahiro Shimo.
 I am a luthier (specialist for making and repair 
of stringed musical instrument) in Japan.
I graduated from Robert-Venn School Of Luthiery 
(technical school of making guitar
 in Phoenix Az. U.S.A.) in 1980.
I worked for Morris Musical Instrument in 1981.
 I was a member of“Handcrafted Team”.
So, I used to make high grade guitars 
and develop newguitars.
In April 1982, I opened Shimo Guitars my shop, 
and started making guitar by myself.

Now, I am very happy. 
Because everybody can see instruments 
that I made on my website.
