Description
Ken Bebensee Electric/Acoustic Stringed Instruments specializing in made-to-order, hand-built guitars and basses since 1991. If you can dream it, we can build it.
Thank you for visiting my web site! I started building custom instruments in San Luis Obispo in a small shop of 750 square feet. In November 2001 I moved to the mountains of Northern California, to a place called North San Juan located about 16 miles northeast of Nevada City, CA and just a few hours from San Francisco, The area is rich with the Yuba river national forests with pine, cedar, oak, madrone trees, manzanita, and lots of wild life including bears. Visitors are welcome by appointment. At some point I'll post pictures of the new space and continue to update the rest of my web site as time permits. I also play music and will be dedicating more time for recording.
I began building electric guitars in high school in Redding, California. I built 3 guitars before I joined the Army as a cook for 2 years. After the Army I used the college fund to study electronic engineering, and continue building guitars. I built my first bass with Greg Coates who also was the bassist for our improv rock band called So What. Greg has been and still is an inspiration. Greg is currently touring with Bird 3 ...

Paolo Coriani:
He opened his own workshop in 1984 after completing his studies and after some years apprenticeship and working in some great italian and french masters’ workshops. Mainly he makes guitars and hurdy-gurdys following the classical models or his own inspiration. He combines a careful choice of the woods with an attentive study of the forms and a careful violinmaking method to reach the equilibrium and the sound that musicians are looking for ...
My guitars are built with woods that are carefully selected from among the best used in the construction of guitars and are crafted personally by me: red Spruce, Canadian Cedar and Sitka Spruce for the soundboards, Rio Rosewood, Jacaranda and Indian Rosewood for the ribs and backs, Honduras Mahogany or Center American Cedar for the necks, African or Indian Ebony for the fretboards. The woods are all naturally seasoned for at least 8 - 9 years. I work on two lines of instruments ...

Theo Scharpach, Luthier: After having worked on my own for almost 23 years, I decided that it became time to find a partner to pass on the knowledge. I was quite lucky to find Menno Bos interested in working together with me. I knew he had been making guitars for eight years (some fine historical instruments showing his craftsmanship) and moreover, he graduated as a guitar-teacher as well.
It turned out that we were able to share our style of guitar-making and for one and a half year Menno has been making Scharpach Guitars together with me.
Theo Scharpach:
I was born near Vienna, Austria in 1955.
I have been making guitars for almost 25 years. Now the workshop is in Bergeyk, the Netherlands.
I followed training in the fine art of wood handcrafting.
After that I also graduated as an antique furniture restorer.
The guitar-shop opened in 1976.
Menno Bos:
Growing up among church organ and choral singing like I did, the guitar is not the most obvious instrument you would expect I was attracted to. It took until I was about 16 years old before I got touched by the sounds of the classical guitar.
The fascination is probably due to the intimate character and the innumerable possibilities of sound colours this instrument has.
