Her love of the music of Django Reinhardtfurther focused her lutherie skills, constructing guitars based on the original designs of Mario Maccaferri andthe Selmer Company of France. Shelley D. Park has now been building fine guitars in Vancouver, British Columbia since 1991. Shelley also brings a wealth of listening and playing experience to her craft.

I've long been impressed with Shelley Park's guitars. The execution is exquisite and her passion for the art of Lutherie is very obvious. Her guitars are a true representation of the great Maccaferri and Selmer guitars.
