Stemming from humble beginnings and being a product of the 50’s and 60’s, Karl was no stranger to hard work. He developed skills and grew resourceful, always finding ways to acquire all he desired. Mowing lawns, taking a paper route, recycling and bartending were just a few of the things that helped propel him to achieve his passions.
According to Karl, his start in becoming a Master luthier began in a classroom.
“In high school, I chose mechanical drafting, woodshop, and metal shop as electives. It was here I was introduced to a variety of woodworking hand tools and machinery I would eventually come to utilize throughout my career. These classes fueled my interests and awakened in me a creativity and appreciation for design. I succeeded in these classes; excelling with the more difficult and complex projects, all while always challenging my creativity.” It was this humble beginning that paved the road to where Karl Sandoval is today.
