FIRST THERE WAS THE FIRE...

... in my deepest mind I always missed the experience to play a guitar with a natural acoustic sound and - with one switch - to play an e-guitar with high distortion and powerful volume without unwanted feedback.

...IT TOOK DECADES...

... of developement. I destroyed a lot of factory built guitars in modifying them. It took a lot of trials with pickups, mics and piezos to generate a satisfying sound.

...THERE WAS A VISION...

At last I recognized, you can´t get the best out of it, using an industrial produced guitar. So I decided to build a new form of guitar by my own. It´s a hybrid of elements of best acoustic guitars, combined with elements of classic e-guitars. It took a lot of woodwork and engeneering art to make this dream come true.

... NOW THERE´S MUSIC !

In partnertship with Konrad Sauer
I found the man with the required know how in building guitars, to bring this vision to shape.
You won´t believe ?
All Songs on our new Album were played with a HYBRIAN prototype.
Listen to it, and I´m shure you ´ll understand what I´m talking about!

"If I had met Konrad Sauer earlier, I would have saved a lot of time !
Thanks to this famous luthier."
