About Guit'R Done
Where Guit'R Done Started
It started with a 12-year-old boy and his first guitar. I was more in love with the idea of being a guitarist than with the discipline it takes to become one. Lessons came and went. Guitars came and went. The dream never did.
Fast forward five decades. I'm Jeff Lokken — 65 years old, a self-described Perpetual Beginner, and the founder of Guit'R Done. Life took an unexpected turn that brought me to one of the lowest points I've ever faced. But it also brought me back to the guitar, back to my faith, and back to the music that has always felt like home.
Why Guit'R Done?
The name is a reminder to myself. A push to stop letting life get in the way and finally become the player I've always wanted to be. It's also a business — a way to provide lifestyle products for people who love Bluegrass and Country music as much as I do.
Through that journey I discovered BanjoBenClark.com, and for the first time in my life I've been sticking with it and actually progressing. I even had the privilege of attending Banjo Ben's Cabin Camp in Athens, GA, where I spent three days learning from professional musicians, making friends, and getting the boost I needed to keep going.
What Guit'R Done Stands For
Every design here reflects something worth wearing — faith, music, and the simple life. Everything we offer is rooted in a love for the instruments, the music itself, and genuine care for the people who play it. My hope is that Guit'R Done becomes a place of rest from the worries of the world — where music and fellowship lift each other up.
Whether you're a lifelong picker or a fellow Perpetual Beginner, you're welcome here. We're glad you found us.
God Bless,
Jeff Lokken
