Co-Founder

Strings & Things

Chris Lovell knew there would be a place for him in the music industry and set out at a young age to make a difference. Along with Charles Lawing, Chris established the Strings & Things music store in Memphis, Tennessee. The store became a central gathering point for musicians and students in the historic music city. Chris took notice of his customer’s needs and sought to create a guitar that would not have some of the repair needs he kept seeing from performers and friends--thus the birth of Saint Blues Guitars. Chris has also been active in bringing independent music dealers together and working to build a stronger industry.
