Ryan Hare
Ryan is a 2012 graduate of the Roberto Venn School of Luthiery. Prior to joining the Equilibrium team, he honed his repair skills in New York City, working on more than 10,000 instruments and building strong relationships in the eclectic local music scene. He has repair certifications from both Taylor and Fender Guitars respectively and has studied under master pickup-builder Jason Lollar, as well as luthiers John Reuter and Scott Walker. Ryan is also a seasoned performer, having played in bands since he was 14 years old. His live music experience is invaluable in conjuction with his repair experience, allowing him to solve issues in a practical and efficient matter.
Dave Cohen
For nearly 20 years, Dave has been a student of the guitar from both musical and technical standpoints. Though completely self-taught, his unwavering fascination with the instrument led him from his humble beginnings replacing pickups on his parents’ dining-room table, to building instruments for touring musicians around the world. "I've always considered it to be an honor getting to work on other people's guitars." Dave says. "Having someone trust you with their means of self-expression and be ecstatic with the work you have done is an incredible feeling. It's a privilege to be able to consider this my career."
