MARTIN KOCH

The desire to build my first guitar started 1983 after reading several articles about British bass builders in a German music magazine. I loved to work with wood and I loved to play guitar and the interviews inspired me to do something I never thought of before - building a guitar. My very first guitar was a fretless and headless bass guitar simply because I didn't know how to calculate fret positions and the headless design simplified building. The hardware is selfmade, only the pickup was bought quite expensive at a local music store.
