Claudio Pagelli
I have been building and repairing guitars and basses since 1977. As head of the biggest Swiss repair workshop (at the time) I was in charge of maintenance of the guitars of numerous musicians and the service point for Gibson, Fender, Ovation and various others.

In 1978 I set up my own business. I imported and restored a few hundred instruments, mainly jazz guitars from the US.

Longer periods of time I worked as a professional guitar player and sound technician/recording engineer for different studios.
Since 1995 I have entirely devoted myself to guitar building and freelance designing for leading firms.

Claudia is my partner in life and business. She brought style and a whole new dimension to my guitars. She's largely responsible for the designs, from the guitars themselves to the website and she is also in charge of the administration. Her critical eye is as much loved as it is feared.

Last but not least, our daughter Eliya Maria. She is in charge of creating havoc an a loving atmosphere in the business.
