Overview
I offer some standard models as well as completely one off instruments. The focus of my production is on acoustic guitars and harp guitars. I also build electric guitars and basses based on original designs.
I build my instruments one at a time using traditional and modern techniques. I feel like there are tried and true methods that have stood the test of time, but also that as a craftsman I need to push forward and innovate. I use advanced materials like carbon fiber, epoxy resin, ZipFlex purfling, poly acrylic finish and modern techniques like vacuum clamping, jig routing... and yet I still glue my braces on a go bar deck with hot hide glue, hand plane my joints, hand carve the neck and such.

Ordering
Guitars are generally built as custom orders, but sometimes I might have some inventory in stock. A 1000 € deposit is required to order a guitar and reserve a spot in the waiting list. Final balance is due before the instrument is shipped. Shipment and insurance are not included in the quoted price.
Base prices are:
Electric Guitars: 2300 €
Acoustic Guitars: 3500 €
Harp Guitars: 4500 €
Warranty
I guarantee my guitars to the original owner for as long as I'll be active as a luthier, against workmanship flaws. The warranty does not cover normal wear or abuse and cracks due to adverse humidity conditions.
