Who We Are - The Guitar Fabrik
Born in 2014, in Lyon, France, The Guitar Fabrik (formerly The Guitar Kit Fabric) began as the passion project of two friends. Over a late-night discussion, they realized the art of building things by hand was slowly fading away. By 4 a.m., the idea for homemade, easy-to-build guitar kits was born—a way for anyone, regardless of skill level, to build their own guitar with their own two hands.
Founded by a doctor-engineer and an artist, both passionate about music and instruments, The Guitar Fabrik emerged as a fusion of inventiveness and practicality. Over the years, luthiers and wood enthusiasts joined the team, solidifying our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
What We Offer
At The Guitar Fabrik, creativity meets simplicity. We provide DIY guitar kits and DIY bass kits that cater to all skill levels—from beginners to seasoned builders. Each kit comes with a detailed technical guide, and our support team is available 24/7 to ensure your building experience is smooth and enjoyable.
In addition to DIY kits, we offer a range of fully assembled electric guitars and basses, designed by our artists and built by our luthier partners. And for those seeking something truly special, we provide customized DIY guitar and bass kits to make your musical projects unique.
Quality is Our Priority
The most important thing to us is that your guitar or bass sounds and plays perfectly once it’s built. We design our kits with the ambition that they’ll become your go-to instrument—not just a decoration, but a guitar or bass that’s ready to rock & roll.
We ensure the highest standards of quality by focusing on key elements:
- Wood: Our wood is of the highest quality, dried for at least 2 years to guarantee stability and resonance.
- Body-Neck Integration: Our necks and bodies fit perfectly and securely for the best performance.
While our hardware sets are simple and standard to keep prices affordable, they provide a solid foundation for your build. And should you wish to upgrade, replacements are easy to source without breaking the bank.
Committed to Sustainability
Another priority at The Guitar Fabrik is our commitment to the environment. We understand that we consume more than the Earth can replenish, and we are dedicated to giving back. For every guitar kit, bass kit, or electric guitar purchased on our site, we plant a tree. This small act, in partnership with our sustainability partners, is our way of returning to nature what we’ve taken. Every little effort counts, and we believe in doing our part to protect the ecosystem.
Who Are Our Customers?
Our customers are as diverse as the guitars they build:
- Professionals: Many of our customers are experienced luthiers who take our kits, refine them, and resell them as high-end, custom-built guitars.
- Hobbyists & Enthusiasts: Others are newcomers to guitar building—people who are passionate about music, love working with wood, and want to build a deeper connection with their instrument by creating it themselves.
