Paul Eckert
I was first introduced to music at the age of 8 with a drum practice pad and have been making music ever since. After touring the north of England with my band as a bass guitarist and spending some time in a couple recording studios, I knew that I had to keep music as a focus in my life.
I earned my degree in audio production, where I learned how to engineer and worked at Sterling Productions until I was able to put together a small studio of my own. I've recorded, produced, mixed and mastered a wide variety of music as well as continue to write and record my own.
I discovered Sweetwater in 2010 and was blown away. In 2012 I realized that I had to be a part of the team.
I've worked with Sweetwater in designing and providing support for professional & home recording studios, as well as church sound systems & other sound venues.
I am dedicated to providing you with the experience, knowledge, and support that you will need.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

I recently ordered a 2014 Gibson Les Paul Studio Pro from Paul Eckert. Between Paul's excellent service, online pictures, inspection, warranty extension, and free shipping, all my doubts about ordering a guitar online are gone. The guitar arrived in excellent condition. Paul was great every step of the way, and followed up as soon as it arrived. I've never had an online merchant treat me so well.

Then when I open your box, a big THANK YOU letter, with candy in the box. Who does that, you guys are FANTASTIC. I love the simple touches. Sweetwater just GETS IT! Love your brand, and the message you send to your clients. WE CARE. YOU ROCK!
