About me:
I'm a creative crafty individual with a great sense of humor. I've never been married nor do I have any darn kids! I have a degree in Chefs Management and Food Service, class 0f '87. I turned 21 T THE RINBOW BAR AND GRILL AND got my start in "the BIZ" in 1989 at S.I.R. in Hollywood. I made my first complete guitar around '92 and currently own and operate my own guitar shop (Baratto Guitars) Established 01-01-2000. I worked for Hoshino U.S.A. from 1994-1999 at the Ibanez Custom Shop in North Hollywood. Here we made prototypes and custom guitars for all the endorsed artists. Steve Vai, Paul Stanley, Joe Satriani to name a few. In the 5 years I was there I made over two hundred guitars, basses.
I love what I do for a living! In my (little) spare time I like to, ride my motorcycle, paint, cook, play music with my friends, comedy, Sushi. Anything to keep life interesting and fun.
I went out with KISS last March for a tour. I was Tommy Thayer's tech for the Australian..New Zealand leg of the tour. I saw KISS when I was 12 and wondered how did that guy checking the guitar get that job? I HAVE to do that. I mean , he knows the BAND! 26 years later I was that guy! My life laid out opportunities that I took advantage of and ultimately was able to live out a childhood dream. Although it had it's ups and downs, I am a lucky man and I feel as though anything is possible. I can now work in my shop creating musical instruments and enjoying life.
