My Guitars

Most electric guitars sold nowadays are based on the iconic designs of Fender and Gibson from the 50s and 60s, and arguably Ibanez in the late 70s and 80s. While these designs have produced some of the most celebrated instruments, they also reflect the early limitations of their time, which can affect playability, ergonomics, and sound. It’s challenging to escape these foundational features—there’s a reason most guitars share similar shapes and functions, and much of the music we love has been composed and performed on them. However, the lack of innovation in guitar design is often driven by manufacturing efficiencies and profitability concerns, overshadowing genuine efforts to enhance performance and functionality. I am committed to creating truly original designs and simply refuse to steal or replicate other people’s work. My goal is to ‘re-invent,’ or at least ‘re-think,’ the guitar, crafting instruments with superior performance and comfort. In my design process, I question everything, starting from the ground up based on what I believe a great guitar should have, rather than relying on conventional wisdom or off-the-shelf components. This often leads me to craft my own components when existing parts don’t meet my design specifications or requirements.

 

And after all, isn’t it a bit boring to play the same instruments as everyone else? I am dedicated to exploring new possibilities and creating guitars that not only look stunning but also provide a truly unique voice and superior playing experience. And every piece is created with a deep respect for the environment, using only natural, biodegradable materials and finishes, so that your music resonates in harmony with the world around us.

The Acoustic

The Harmony Forge

This distinctive guitar combines modern elegance with acoustic innovation. Its bold, ergonomic shape and sleek multiscale design ensure both comfort and precise intonation across all strings. The pinless bridge allows for easy string changes while enhancing sustain, and the strategically placed sound port provides a direct and immersive playing experience, letting the player hear the instrument’s full tonal richness. With custom bracing optimized for responsiveness, this guitar delivers an incredible depth of resonance and sustain, making it the perfect choice for musicians who seek clarity, warmth, and projection in a contemporary form.

Light responsive bracing

The bracing in this guitar is crafted to be light yet incredibly responsive, allowing the top to resonate freely and deliver a rich, vibrant tone. By placing the soundhole off-center, the design opens up a larger, uninterrupted vibrating surface, maximizing the top’s potential to move and produce sound. This innovative approach creates a more dynamic and resonant voice, as the entire soundboard can breathe and respond without the structural limitations of a central soundhole. The result is a guitar that combines remarkable sustain with enhanced projection, providing a full and immersive tonal experience.

Designed for comfort and tone

This guitar’s neck is crafted with the comfort and playability of an electric guitar in mind, featuring a slim profile and low action that make it a joy to play. The slight multiscale design is seamlessly integrated, providing subtle ergonomic benefits that enhance hand positioning and reduce strain, particularly for extended sessions. This multiscale setup also contributes to more precise intonation across the fretboard, giving players a beautifully balanced feel with improved tuning stability. Together, these features make the neck an ideal choice for players seeking a smooth, effortless playing experience.
