The Protofunk

What began as a rather random collection of materials and experimental test pieces has evolved into one of the most exciting guitars I’ve created this year.
‍
For many years, I’ve been developing a fretted acrylic glass fingerboard. Countless attempts failed along the way. We explored different materials, refined adhesive formulations, and experimented with a wide range of processing and finishing techniques.
‍
Now, for the first time, I’ve succeeded in creating a truly flawless and exceptional-sounding acrylic glass fingerboard. This instrument opens up an entirely new world of design possibilities for me – without any compromise in sound. In fact, quite the opposite…

The Psychemusica

Jens received only one word from the client to begin this unique OMAKASE blind order: Psychedelic. Based on that single impulse, he created a one-of-a-kind collector piece. Take a closer look at The Psychemusica in this video and discover what emerged from that one word.

You need to see the short video we did to really understand this instrument:

Deanna –
The 8th Rose

Every year, we witness the intense blooming of some ancient roses outside our showroom window. Their beauty was the inspiration to start the ROSES Series.

Each year, I create one instrument, colored with the natural extract from that season’s petals.

The color of this particular instrument contains the essence of the 2024 bloom.

The
sandblasted dirt

The first time I cleaned my patio with a pressure washer, I was fascinated by how the otherwise smooth surface suddenly revealed its true, natural texture. What kind of surface do I get when I combine natural texture with man-made wear? Once, I got the pressure washer jet too close to my skin.

The flamed emerald

A few years ago, I found a beautifully figured piece of flamed ash at a lumber fair. After fine-sanding the shaped guitar body, I was fascinated by the three-dimensionality of the wood surface. It somehow reminded me of the play of light on an emerald. This inspired the guitar's final coloring.

The beatitude

The Raptor body shape is one of my most dynamic designs. I was inspired by this extraordinary design while watching a bird of prey show at our neighboring wildlife park. The aggressively pointed talons during an attack inspired the lower horn of this body shape, and I wanted to reflect the bird's approaching shape in the dynamics of the entire body. The orange color of this special instrument gives the bass an even more intense energy. But where do you end up when you walk across the bridge?

The golden rainbow

Nature never ceases to fascinate me. Endless combinations of patterns and colors. This Roya's top is once again a perfect example of this. All coloring is natural – we didn't dye anything. A sensational masterpiece of nature.

The poplar r8

The variety of Poplar Burl structures is so infinitely versatile. I'm always fascinated by the final abstract painting that emerges from the fine sanding of the wood surface. With a light blue tint, I always create views of different continents and ocean regions.It's simply one of my favorite wood/paint combinations.
