About

We have been guitar buddies for over 20 years now.

Our venture started out of necessity: we were both college students and the money we had to spend couldn’t buy us enough guitar to suit our tastes. So we bought ourselves the only available books on lutherie, a few hand tools, two sets of cheap wood and then started our first acoustic guitar-build project. It took an entire year and a lot of research (there was no internet back then), questions, phone calls, reading, more reading, trial and error, more trial and more error, but we finally succeeded in building our first pair of guitars. The results were quite satisfactory and those guitars are still around today.

Over the years we’ve turned our guitar business around a few times, but we finally managed to settle in our comfort zone – which is building replicas of the great American acoustic guitars of the ‘Golden Era’, as well as offering world-class restoration and repair of valuable, vintage guitars to clients all over Europe.
