RHEIN 14 FRET – Cutaway

After many sleepless nights and weeks of design studies, the time had finally come - my standard model Rhine was born. At the time I lived directly on the banks of the Rhine, so it was obvious to pay homage to the place of origin with an appropriate model name. Especially since the themes of water, river and nature are also firmly anchored in my logo and philosophy.

      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 [...]

      To me, there is a distinct appeal in being able to accurately express my surroundings through my instruments. The decision to embellish guitars with inlays holds a unique place in this regard. And not with some imported abalone shell [...]
