Fröhlich guitars

Rated 5 out of 5
handmade custom guitars

Are you considering purchasing an instrument that is out of the ordinary?

If so, then I am ready to make it for you. Believe me, you will get a tailor-made instrument, directly on your body, and in addition, you will get your own unique image. Before starting to build the instrument, I always listen to the requirements and try to incorporate and supplement them. In addition to the targeted sound that I try to get closer to, I take care to create player comfort, namely by choosing the size of the scale, the shape of the neck, the width of the zero fret, the type of frets, inlays, carvings, surface treatment ... I make guitars for the joy of guitarists, who usually already know specifically what to expect from them, have their own idea, for whom the final instrument is something more than just a toy, it is their lifestyle.

I also perform repairs, though not very often, and I prefer working on concert-grade instruments. My own instruments always come with a lifetime warranty.
