Krystian Krzykwa
Main luthier/ Founder of KK Guitars
I have been building guitars since I was 13, when, guided by stories and photos of my grandfather with a handmade guitar, I decided to do the same.
After finishing the first guitar, it turned out that creating and designing gives as much, if not more, joy than playing a handmade instrument.
In my designs, I try to include features that make the guitar reflect the expectations of a modern user, as well as break patterns and use an unconventional approach to ergonomics and materials.
Despite engineering background, I believe that a guitar can be not only a well-build and precise tool, but also a source of inspiration and a thing that drives the creativity of its owner.
