Description
Kritz started its activity in 1976 with a major participation in the Belgian recording business.
3 recording studios were build between 1976 and 1987. In 1991 Kritz decided to go into the musical instrument business and started a large research and development plan to update musical instruments and Commercialise them. Kritz focused its know-how towards the electric guitar.
From 93 up to now, many solutions to tuning and sound problems were realised. This resulted in unseen instruments.
Now, some are world's most sought-after instruments. From the beginning we already decided to use all digital means possible to achieve one goal: try to make a guitar that one can "feel" Without influencing the feelings of the musician. For this we needed to be very selective.
So, we use computers only for high precision jobs. Not for fast jobs. We use composite materials only for their properties and not because they speed up production. We do not listen to tales, legends or guitar stories. We do not follow trends or designs ...

A Luthier's Art: Gregory Byers: Classical and Flamenco Guitars of Gregory Byers.
Showcase, Workshop, Research ...
Before I begin to build a guitar the possibilities are limitless. Every step along the way I make decisions which guide the final result in the direction of my imagination, and each step limits the possible outcomes further and further until only one remains. Even then, because of the ineffable qualities of wood, we luthiers are in the business of attempting to control the uncontrollable. Yet with experience, care, the courage to dream, and belief in one's self, something special can happen. I put everything I have into each guitar, then go on to the next with the conviction that I can go even further ...
