Re: European Guitar Builders
I keep seeing Baum guitars in my newsfeeds. I believe they're Danish. They do some very classy looking offsets which look beautiful even if the style isn't the aesthetic I would usually go for.

Re: European Guitar Builders
Very nice! I'm looking for more of a JM copy, but others might be interested. That's a sweet sounding guitar!Kinx wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 11:20 amThere's a great luthier building under a brand Wolf Guitars here in Czech Republic. I know the guy and his skill and attention to detail is insane. He just launched his first offset model, The Velvet. I did a quick demo of the first production piece here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQiEnCDB3BM
He doesn't have a website yet, but I'll post more photos and info if interested
if I remember correctly, the specs are following:
Chambered pine body with walnut top and binding
Maple neck with rosewood fretboard
Dussenberg trem and bridge
3x Tuma Pickups p90 Alnico 5 (custom hand wound pickups made here in CZ)

Re: European Guitar Builders
Nice finds. It is such a great time to be a guitar player. We have so many more options now than just the big F, G, & P.barrycreed wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 7:13 amItaly, just a sample

Re: European Guitar Builders
There's one man shop in Finland called Vuorensaku Guitars:mrventures wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 7:46 amPotentially reviving this thread to see if any noteworthy new European offset builders have popped up since 2014. I'm considering Haar for a custom build, but would like to see more options out there.
https://www.vuorensaku.fi/
He has his T-style offset series that can be had with a lot of customization. He told me that basically the body shape and headstock are set but otherwise you can customize a lot. He has made stuff like guitar with in built spring reverb and in built effects etc..
I just visited the guy and he will make a Baritone neck to one of my guitars .

Re: European Guitar Builders
I dig the German carve on a lot of the Vuorensaku models. Very cool builder!

Re: European Guitar Builders
Stumbled across these guys down the road from me in Peckham, London. Couple of cool offsets a la St Vincent Ernie Ball/small reverse firebird:

I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?
