My Dear Friends,
… freaky guitars isn't but a bilingual play on words, from the words freak and guitar
… when at a certain point after 25 and more years of guitar life I went on to the psychotherapeutic activity of reinstatement, restoration, rebuilding and finally construction of guitars.
I watched guitarist friends of mine, freaks freak out playing with a low cost guitar, reconstructed or another that I had collected from the trash and had spent some time with it. Playing on these guitars, they produced a sound as good as the guitar that they had paid dearly for.
And fhat's how Freaky Guitars was created.
Basis of the whole venture was the argument that there ain't such a thing as good and bad guitars but guitars created thoroughly and others created roughly and with oversights due to low cost, which can be corrected with interventions...
Our aim is a low cost or destroyed instrument that will play and sound like the acclaimed instruments of the market with the least possible extra cost, which means that the task wasn't easy and fast in its application...
That wasn't irrelevant to my experience towards the end of the 80s, when – already having played live for 10 years either with personal bands or as a session musician I travelled across Europe with a sleeping bag for a while and met a large number of street musicians playing great music with destroyed instruments in really poor condition, which made me wonder.
Quoting marionette operator Kleist, I would say that in the end, the instrument isn't but a path of ascent of the being of the musician and that's why the cautious and careful construction is necessary for the top quality imprinting of the result of this revelation.
Where the curve created
by the guitar string
is exactly
its trajectory of the ascent
of the soul of the guitar player...
Be Well...
