Gene Hansen

Hi! My name is Gene Hansen (Geno). My wife and I own the Traverse City Guitar Company. I started playing guitar in the summer of 1976. I have been working on guitars for 39 years now. I learned to repair guitars the hard way, on my own as most people did during that time. After my Air Force career, I was able to combine my love of guitars and woodworking, along with several other skills to start building my own line of instruments in the summer of 2009. I opened the store in the spring of 2014 and since have expanded my guitar building as well as becoming a certified repair center with Taylor Guitars, Fender, Guild, Cordoba and Ibanez guitars.
