Pierre-Yves at Esprit Guitare

Pierre-Yves chez Esprit Guitare

(English below) Musicien depuis l'enfance, passionné de musiques et d'expériences nouvelles, j'ai très vite appris à gérer moi même mon matériel, en particulier mes guitares. C'est de cette manière que j'ai fait mes premiers pas en lutherie, sans vraiment le savoir, à l'instar de M. Jourdain ;-) Curieux de tout et assoiffé de nouvelles connaissances, je me suis forgé une solide expérience au fil des années en travaillant sur de nouvelles guitares ou sur celles de mes connaissances... Je n'hésite pas à marier techniques traditionnelles et pratiques innovantes (qui parfois me viennent de domaines très éloignés de la lutherie) pour arriver à mon seul objectif : la satisfaction du musicien qui m'a confié son instrument :-) (English) A musician since childhood, passionate about music and new experiences, I quickly learned to look after my own gear — especially my guitars. That is how I took my first steps into lutherie, without really knowing it, much like Monsieur Jourdain ;-) Curious about everything and eager for new knowledge, I have built solid experience over the years, working on new guitars and on those of people I know… I am happy to combine traditional techniques with innovative practices (which sometimes come from fields far removed from lutherie) to reach my one goal: the satisfaction of the musician who has entrusted me with their instrument :-)
