Guitars.
- Inspirations for the contemporary player
Thierry André is known for creating guitars of a distinctive and timeless character, exploring his way the traditional shape and sound of the guitar instrument.
Drawing on strong references both in music, arts, and in the historical evolution of the guitar itself: he designs and builds between 5 and 6 unique instruments each year, creating one-off drawings, templates and construction molds for each.
Truly, it is craftsmanship in research & development mode, the laboratory conducive to an approach that is as much artistic as technical.
Thierry's goal is certainly similar to that of his luthier peers, read:
- to offer one of the most exhilarating guitar experiences available today - That's understood. But what's more? Through each of his handmade guitar works, what Thierry seeks to fully establish is on the side of the player, truly giving way to a strong and vibey creative -era- that will endure as part of his mate's own practice. as a musician.

" I finally had the chance to play the Raga. What an incredible sound! It has to be the richest, full-bodied sounding instrument in my collection! My two assistants were astounded at the sound quality! What a masterpiece! Thank you so much for the superb vision and craft you put into your work."

In my own words:
' My current production addresses the needs of both collectors and players, focusing on archtop, hollow body and steel string guitars. (Left: a rare, one-off bass guitar).
My personal approach to guitar making offers:
- Attentive service.
- The guitar you ultimately want; identified, well planned, designed with the right materials, finished with love, set-up with care, signed, and delivered to your door.-"
