The old-school archtop, Thierry Andre Instruments

-What I like about your work is that

it is visionary. It is as if your guitars

were coming from a different time,

that could be forward

or the past.-

 

Marco Coppiardi,

Violin maker, Cremona

My current production addresses the needs of both collections and players. I explore the guitar in research and creation mode, as well as in the form of original commissions for individuals. One thing is certain, my works take on a personal character each time, as if each of my instruments came from a dream or strong emotion.

 

The challenge (and beauty of the work) is to manage to bring this intuitive towards the wood material - and as a luthier to combine ergonomics, sound and musical function in one efficient stroke. 

 

My guitars are all individually made, calling for a part of design that very often comes from an external idea or suggestion. I am like you, learning every day about the guitar. I offer it to you today in its well-rooted contemporary version, focusing mainly on archtop, hollow-body and steel-string acoustic guitars.
