Patrick Raymond has been writing songs and playing music now for over 35 years. Patrick has taken up guitar, mandolin, banjo, dobro, and harmonica. Not only is Patrick a seasoned musician and songwriter, but in 1993 found a love for building instruments. So far he has built 3 steel string guitars, and has 2 classical guitars under construction. His own personal instrument, shown below, has a beautiful abalone/mother of pearl inlay of a trout pursuing a fly. Fishing is another of Patrick's loves! As if this isn't enough to fill his time, he is also a High School Guidance Counselor and a ultra-marathon trail runner.

Details of the very first guitar built by Patrick Raymond. A dreadnaught style acoustic based on the classic Martin design.
The rosette is made of inlaid woods. If you look closely at the upper left tuning key in the bottom right photo, you can see Patrick looking back at you!
