Stu became good friends with Larry Corryelle in 1990 who mentored him in his early career, this was followed by appearances on MTV & CNN in the USA. He has since studied and worked with many respected artists creating more than a dozen albums in addition to playing as a session guitarist. He has toured multiple times across Australia and the USA.
Stu’s true passion for new and authentic sounds assisted him to create, design and manufacture unique guitars with a sound never before heard. He is recognized as the founder of the 12-string dual electric touch style guitar which he first started developing in 1986, collaborating with Ned Steinberger and Trev Wilkinson to bring his vision to fruition.
