The end of a life, but the music goes on

Hi everyone. My name is Jay and I am one of Jess's two sons. This past April, Dad passed away after a long battle with cancer. He was an example of grace and good humor during every day of his eight months after the diagnosis.

His relationship with music and the craft of building guitars was critical to everything he did. You wouldn't think that a 78 year old would maintain his own blog, learn social media, and make friends with players and craftspeople around the globe, but he did.

We've decided to keep TotalRojo Guitars alive on the internet so that his how-to videos and postings might inspire others to learn something from scratch and to work with their hands.

All the best,
Jay
