I started as professional bass and guitar builder/repairer in 1989 and I work from my home workshop near Brussels, Belgium.

At 16, when studying electronics in school, I was inspired by a Donald Brosnac book and began experimenting by building some of my own very basic guitars, using wathever tools I could find in my father’s metal workshop. For me this opened up an exiting new world of guitar playing and the guitar making technique around it.

Around this time, I started to play in bands and bought a few major brand guitars and basses. Never really satisfied with them, I started customizing my own gear. This evolved into an obsession and finally into a profession.

These days my designs are based on traditional styles. I try to mix them in a way that makes them look a bit different but feel like something that players are used to. Playability, ergonomics, sound and looks are very important to me.

Years of playing, tweaking, repairing and building basses and guitars for a variety of customers have given me a good idea what to incorporate into my designs. Creating an instrument that becomes a player’s musical voice is what it's all about .

Every one of my instruments is a carefully crafted, reliable tool for musical creativity!
