A Childhood Dream in the Village of Entrecasteaux

The story of our craft begins in the picturesque village of Entrecasteaux in the Var region, where Jean-Jacques, from a young age, dreamed of becoming a luthier. However, life initially took him down a different path, that of pottery. This first profession allowed him to develop the dexterity and artistic sensitivity that would prove invaluable for his unexpected future.

An Underwater Revolution

In the early years of the new millennium, Jean-Jacques and his brother François embarked on an extraordinary adventure: creating 3D underwater films. Their shared passion for marine exploration led them to collaborate with the legendary Cousteau family, becoming deeply involved in marine conservation. This period also marked the beginning of their work with renowned personalities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Marion Cotillard, Paul Walker, Uma Thurman, Deep Roy, Christopher Lloyd, Daryl Hannah, and Charlotte Rampling, who lent their voices to narrate the captivating stories of the ocean depths. These films, driven by Jean-Jacques and François' vision, gained international recognition.

Enzo Joins the Adventure

In 2011, Enzo joined the adventure, bringing with him his youthful energy and swift execution that revitalized their projects. His participation enriched the work already done and introduced new energy into their underwater explorations and creations.

From Music to Magical Hands

Amidst his explorations and creations, Jean-Jacques found comfort and inspiration in playing the guitar. This hobby rekindled his childhood dream of making his own guitar. After a year of intensive research and experimentation, he developed a model with exceptional sound, which immediately captivated his professional guitarist friends.

The Birth of a Revolutionary Craft

Encouraged by this success, Jean-Jacques, joined once again by Enzo, decided to embark on an even more ambitious venture: creating unique guitars using never-before-seen techniques. Drawing on their ecological background and manual skills, they chose to use noble woods and respect the environment, thereby merging their love for art, music, and nature.Encouraged by this success, Jean-Jacques, joined once again by Enzo, decided to embark on an even more ambitious venture: creating unique guitars using never-before-seen techniques.
