Custom built, hand crafted, very highquality Archtop, Flattop, & Electric Guitars plus Mandolinswith exceptional playerability and fantastic sound :
Taku Sakashta played rock and roll guitars early in his life, starting in elementary schools. While reading about the guitar designer Rick Turner, he realized he would become a guitar builder. He began refinishing his own guitars, and later graduated from luthier engineering school at eighteen. He has worked in research, design, and development for a major guitar company in Japan and United States, making prototypes and endorsement projects.
In 1995 Taku independently began designing and crafting guitars for the general public in addition to professional musicians. He has recently built guitars for musicians including Tony Darren, Robben Ford, Tony Macus, Boz Scaggs, Ellen Stephenhorst, and Martin Simpson, and is designing a guitar for Tuck Andress and Pat Martino.
All his designs combine traditional and innovative elements for exceptional sound and playability, tempered for each individual musician. Craftsmanship is of the highest quality using the best materials available. Finish and appearance are recognized as superb.
Taku now has 17 years of professional experience (primarily with professional musicians) and has become well known for his special talents in all fields of the musical industry.
Taku Sakashta's philosophy on his guitars are that they are an extension of the musician's personality and soul ...

Rene Wilhelmy, Luthier:
René Wilhelmy studied classical guitar at the Institut Marguerite Bourgeois with guitarist Jean Vallières. During this training, he learned instrument making on his own, thus launching his career as a luthier. Two grants, one from the Canada Council and the other from the Office franco-québécois, enabled him to hone his skill, and his travels in Europe brought him into contact with major luthiers and guitarists. With his solid experience acquired over the years, Wilhelmy has become a prominent luthier.
While he works on historic guitar models, René Wilhelmy also experiments with building more modern instruments, such as folk guitars and electric guitars. To date, he has produced nearly one hundred instruments, including lutes, folk and electric guitars, and more than seventy-five classical guitars. These instruments, many of which are owned by award-winning musicians, are widely admired as much for their artistic beauty as for their fine tone.
René Wilhelmy a étudié la guitare à l'institut Marguerite-Bourgeois, puis chez Jean Vallières. C'est au cours de ses études qu'il débute, en autodidacte, sa carrière de luthier. Il obtient deux bourses, l'une du Conseil des Arts du Canada et l'autre de l'Office franco-qué bécois qui lui permettent de perfectionner son art. Ses voyages en Europe lui donnent l'occasion de rencontrer des luthiers et des guitaristes importants. Il acquiert une solide expérience et, au fil des ans, il parvient au rang des plus grands luthiers.
S'il travaille sur des modèles anciens de guitares, René Wilhelmy explore aussi la fabrication d'instruments plus modernes comme les guitares folk et électriques. Il a déjà fabriqué près de cent instruments dont des luths, des guitares folk et électriques et plus de 75 guitares classiques. Ses instruments sont grandements appréciés, tant pour leur beauté plastique que pour leur fine sonorité. Bon nombre de musiciens gagnants de divers prix nationaux possèdent de ses instruments.
