Millenary Olive Tree Wood
Our guitars are crafted from wood sourced from 1,000-year-old olive trees in the Mediterranean Basin. These trees, celebrated for their slow growth and longevity, are primarily cultivated for their fruit rather than their wood. Due to their twisted trunks, obtaining long boards from olive wood is rare, making it a precious and scarce resource.
The wood used in our guitars comes from trees felled to make room for various crops and agricultural ventures. Through our guitars, we give this beautiful wood a new lease on life.

Masterful Craftsmanship
Jean-Jacques Mantello is a true Renaissance man. He is a gifted artist and craftsman with a wide range of abilities and interests, particularly in music, film, and sciences.
His passion for music and lutherie ignited during childhood. His journey is devoted to shaping wood and transforming raw materials into magnificent and melodious guitars of spectacular aesthetics.
Crafting a luxurious guitar from the dense, resilient wood of an olive tree is a near-impossible feat—an extraordinary challenge that artist Mantello set for himself to honor this millennia-old wood.
Mantello's work involves building guitars and creating a harmonious blend of artistry and engineering that resonates through each instrument.
Located in the heart of Provence, France, in the village of Entrecasteaux, Mantello combines decades of expertise with an unwavering commitment to quality, continually pushing the boundaries of guitar-making.
