Hello guitarfriend,

I started playing the guitar when I was a young boy and have been filled with an enthusiasm for playing ever since. A few years ago this enthusiasm for the guitar extended to attempts at actually making guitars.

During my apprenticeship as a joiner I built my first solid electric guitars and bass guitars and then graduated to steel string acoustic guitars. The ultimate challenge to me though was in the making of classical guitars.

In order to progress this desire I realised that professional help would be a step forward and was accepted as a student at the prestigious 'Newark School of Classical Guitar Making' in England. I studied and learned the
craft from the two world wide recognized makers Roy Courtnall (author of the book "Making Master Guitars") and Tony Johnson who did inspire me and still is!
In a further step to extend my skills as a luthier I did a professional course in making and repairing violins, violas and cellos.

I now have a collection of classical guitars, steel string acoustic guitars and violins that can be viewed on this web site. If you have any special wishes and would like a guitar customized to your individual needs please feel free to discuss them with me.

So - have fun perusing my pages.

yours
Jens Towet
