RHEIN 12 FRET – CUTAWAY

Since I have always had a great weakness for guitars with the neck-body transition at the 12th fret, it was clear to me from the beginning that this type of guitar will get a permanent place in my model portfolio. During my training I was already able to deal extensively with this variant and made it more and more my own. After a long maturing process, the guitar with the neck-body transition at the 12th fret has become one of my specialties.

      Binding Work

      I like to combine tradition and modernity. Therefore some of my work steps are are centuries old. For example, one of them would be gluing the binding with a rope. After the routings for the bindings and the purfling are made with the help of a router the glue is applied and a rope is looped [...]

      Almost every acoustic guitar has it - the builder's label inside the body. There you have the opportunity to get creative with your logo, serial number and so on. I like to compare it with a label on a wine bottle - really little space to give the customer a brief outline of the whole [...]

      Rhine Shell Inlay

      It is a special attraction for me to capture my environment in a certain way in my guitars. An important position in this respect takes the option to decorate the guitars with inlays.

      I prefer to blend modernism with tradition. Thus, some of my steps date back hundreds of years. One such method would be to use a rope to coil the edges. After using a specific router jig to cut the trench for the curving edge [...]

      Within the body of almost every acoustic guitar is a note from the maker. You have the opportunity to let some steam off and immortalize yourself there, on a small area. I like to compare it to a wine bottle label since [...]
