Scott’s Workshop

My wings are wheels, and my workshop is my world. From New Shanti homestead in rural New York, I craft D’AQUILA guitars and the “Scott Signature” line of guitars and little basses, write and compose, create and offer. The adventure of life continues, and I’m grateful for you.

Main menu is up top - here are some offsite links to check out:

Birdsong Guitars, my company building pro quality short scale basses in Texas since 2004.
The Official Birdsong YouTube channel, for all in the Birdsong circle (including these instruments).
My Reverb.com store, Strings That Sing, to see what instruments I have available. (More coming!)
The Amazon page where my books (Scott Beckwith) can be ordered.
The Bandcamp online home of my music and songs. (Just getting started!)
My BIG page of web links. Wondering where to go or what to watch? It’s in here.

About Me

Born in New York and raised around Boston, I set out on the road at 19 with music as my force. Writing, playing, homesteading back-to-the-land, and starting Birdsong Guitars over a few decades in Texas with some amazing people, the run comes full circle to an 1800s farmstead in the far northern Adirondacks.

The “North Country” of New York is where the workshop is now, and where the roads lead me home to when I wander. I call the place “New Shanti,” I had it named before I knew it was here. “New peace.” It was just a matter of finding where that was going to be. It’s here.
