Dear valued visitor,

in this section, I offer highly exclusive BESPOKE guitars and basses, starting at €15,000.

If you are interested in less elaborate instruments, you’ll find a huge selection in my Custom section.

 

BESPOKE

Much like the renowned Rolls-Royce coachbuild models, every detail of the guitar is individually selected. Whether it’s the sound, materials, finishes, inlays, or the case. Every detail is discussed and harmoniously brought together.

Since each individual component requires skilled craftsmanship, it is simply impossible for me to build the guitar completely on my own. Over many years, I have built up a large network of artisans who provide crucial support with many of the details. One cannot accumulate that many years of apprenticeship and experience in a single lifetime. Of course, I personally handle the classic guitar-making work myself. The result is a series of highly individual instruments of outstanding quality: BESPOKE.

The number of instruments is very limited, as the time and effort involved only allows me to build a maximum of 1-2 guitars per year.

 

INSPIRATION

Inspiration for designing guitars can be found everywhere along life’s long journey, if you walk it with your eyes open. It could be simple objects at a market, textures found in nature, fine fabrics, ornate furniture, architecture, …

I want to provide my customers with discrete and pleasant support as they search for solutions.

PERFECTION

Ideas can certainly come from an item you picked up for a bargain at a flea market. But when it comes to bringing that idea to life on the guitar, there’s only one option: Absolute perfection and the highest level of craftsmanship!

The playability of the instruments is outstanding in terms of feel, ergonomics and feedback and far exceeds the quality of the custom shop and vintage models from mainstream manufacturers. To draw another analogy with the automotive industry: Mid-range cars get you from A to B just fine, but a luxury sedan is simply a much more comfortable ride. The only thing is, there’s no chauffeur when it comes to playing the guitar.

Of course, that much effort comes at a price. The entry point into the world of bespoke instruments starts at around €15,000. Depending on the options you choose, the sky’s the limit.

I want to make the BESPOKE process – the customization of your dream instrument – as simple and enjoyable as possible for you.

Many issues can be resolved via email, over the phone, or during a video call.

In some cases, however, I will need to meet with you or your representative to discuss the hardware components in order to ensure precise coordination. Some hardware samples can also be sent by mail. Whatever your preferences for the process may be, I can visit you or your representative anywhere in the world. You are also always welcome to visit my workshop in Bavaria/Germany, very close to Munich airport.
