Timberline Guitars was started by **Rob Smith **under the simple premise of building high quality, hand-made solid timber guitars for prices below where guitars of this quality had ever been sold before.

**Kevin Hall **subsequently joined Timerline in the technical capacity of Bush–Dwelling Guitar Hermit. Smith runs the business side from Southern California; Hall designs, tweaks, invents, refines, improves and generally creates guitar magic from his home base outside Toronto, Canada. Kevin also runs Timberline Music, Canada.
