   This site is dedicated to my guitars. You can find here details about guitars construction and setup, materials, tools and equipment used, as well as methods of wood impregnation. In Gallery you can find some of the guitars produced by me. My first adventures with electric guitars come from the times, when getting good instrument in Poland was almost impossible. However I wanted to play music, and... where there is a will, there is a way. I bought at occasional price my first electric guitar, with one pick-up, stabile bridge…, and it looked like ‘Strats’. Unfortunately I quickly realized something was wrong and it did not sound properly. Diagnosis of situation absorbed me completely and then it has started. Never-ending fixings, corrections and adjustments has brought me to the stage, which could be described as “finishing touch to electric guitar” - numerous replacements and adjustments of frets, potentiometers, pick-ups - which at distortion was sometimes playing Polish radio - alignment of bridge, working out proper sound of strings, etc. After few weeks spent in my father’s garage I got there – finally playing this instrument with my band became a great pleasure. This is how my passion has started and lasts till today. Since then plenty of time has passed when I was getting a lot of experience and technical skills, supporting also the knowledge from books, professional press and every possible resource. I have designed and produced my first guitar in 1989, I was following all the rules of making the guitar, at the same time introducing few own ideas. Of course the guitar had to look gaspingly, but first of all I expected original sound and reliability. Result did not fully satisfy me – I was young and beauty:) I realized the way to perfection was hard, but had no other choice than to follow it. Nowadays I still can say that I continuously research for new solutions and modifications. It helps musicians to get their own distinctive sound and perfect feeling of the guitar.
