Yours Truly
Since
19 years I have been focussing on handcrafting guitars, mostly
steelstring (solidbody, archtop, flattop & Bass) and nylon sting
guitars. Since 2015 I also started building Violins & Double Bass.
It all started with my first guitar which remained unmodified for almost 3 months, but it got serious as soon as I was able to follow guitar and violin building lessons in the 'Centrum for musical instruments building' (centrum voor muziekinstrumentenbouw) in Puurs, Belgium. A fantastic and inspiring place, to get started and more....
All of my guitars are unique designs, handcrafted, have custom inlay and... take about a year to finish.
Tuning my Jumbo flattop just before the "Akoestiek zonder gezwets" concert. So not only building but also playing on my instruments, the proof is eating the pudding.
