Welcome !

In 2007 I started building my own guitars. Being a musician I have a lot of different guitars of the usual renown brands.

But I really wanted to create my own models. I didn't want to merely copy an established model, at the same time I was looking for a shape that would have a certain "vintage" feel to it. After numerous attempts and failures, I finally came up with a guitar that refers from a distance to the classics but at the same time has a unique and recognizable identity of its own: the Guttlin guitar

In the meantime more original Guttlin designs were created, for different guitar types and basses.  

Since I got a lot of questions about these Guttlin guitars and basses, I set up this little website.
Enjoy exploring the various models of these modern vintage guitars and feel free to leave a message in the Guttlin Guestbook or send me an e-mail.
