kritz
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 ...

4. michas
Denver based custom built guitars and repair services.
Michas Custom Guitars is owned and operated by Chris Michas. It is located in Denver, CO right near downtown. First and foremost, Chris is a guitar player and a consumer in the guitar market.
Since he was a child Chris spend most of his time tinkering with electronics, building things and taking things apart (most of which never got put back together). These were the building blocks for what was to come.
It was not until the past five years that Chris started taking woodworking and his attention to detail seriously. Most of his paychecks went to buying new tools and equipment. He set up a small shop space in the corner of his garage. Most of his spare time was spent learning how all that stuff worked.
Chris has been a long time Grateful Dead fan. He was inspired by Jerry Garcia's guitar. He had to have one! After doing plenty of research, he learned that it was one of the most custom guitars ever made and the only way to get one was to make one. After two attempts at making a body blank he figured out that he should probably start with something a little more basic. It was then he built his first guitar, a bass in particular. It was nothing special, but a huge learning experience.
Around that same point in time he lost his job as a Radio Frequency Technician. In the process of looking for another job on the Internet he found a guitar building school down in Phoenix, AZ. This place was called The Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery. He signed up not taking it all too seriously. They got back to him saying he was on the waiting list and the job search continued. Some time went by and all of a sudden there was an opening and he moved down to Phoenix with one week’s notice to attend this school for 6 months. Chris' stars were aligned; the schools director of training, John Reuter was making a Jerry Garcia replica guitar for himself from start to finish in the exact 6 months that he was in attendance there ...

5. matamp
Welcome to the Official MATAMP UK factory website. Manufacturers of Valve and PRO Audio equipment since 1948.
The UK has gained ground in the custom amplifier market over the past few years, but America is still king - or so we thought. With many boutique amps coming from the USA, it may come as a surprise to learn that the home of one of America's most revered amp builders isn't in a sunny Californian suburb, but a converted mill in the village of Meltham, West Yorkshire,England, set in some of the most stunning countryside the UK has to offer. This is the home of Matamp - one of our oldest marques and yet one of the least well known.
[The late, great Mat Mathias]
The Matamp story goes all the way back to the beginning of rock'n'roll: Mat Mathias was a German Jew who was evacuated to the UK as a child during WWII - his first job was as a cinema projectionist and it was probably this which inspired his interest in electronics. With a post-war grant from the German government Mat started his own company, initially working from a garden shed, with the self-taught ability to fix almost anything electronic quickly earning him the nickname 'The Radio Doctor' ...
