Sustainable European wood used for guitar building

Our Philosophy: Tone & Responsibility

We believe that a world-class instrument shouldn't come at the cost of the environment. Our founding principle is to challenge the reliance on exotic, often endangered, tonewoods from across the globe.

European Woods Only: We source all our timber from European forests, using no endangered or tropic woods and reducing carbon footprint during shorter ways of transport. We are mainly using Ash for the bodies and beautiful Maple, Walnut and various fruit trees like Olive, Apple and Pear for the neck and fretboards.

No Compromise on Quality: We pair our hand-selected woods with industry-leading hardware and electronics from brands like Schaller, Gotoh, Hipshot, Evertune, Floyd Rose, Seymour Duncan, Bare Knuckle, EMG, Fishman and many more.

Player-Centric Design: Every curve, contour, and feature is designed with the modern musician in mind. We build instruments that are comfortable, reliable, and inspiring to play.

CNC-machined, finished and assembled by hand: All guitars are designed and built in Germany from CNC-machined bodies, necks and fretboards. We use only the finest materials and only the best quality components.
