A couple of years later he met Dominique Field who encouraged him to establish his own buisness and in 2004 he was awarded with the title “Un des Meilleur Ouvrier de France”. Rohé builds in the tradition of French guitar makers like Daniel Friederich and Dominique Field. Rohé's guitars became known internationally when Kent Guitars and Guitar Salon International began to import them to the UK and USA respectively and when David Jaggs started to play one.

Anastasio Fasanaro was inspired to become a luthier when he visited the workshop of Antonino Scandurra. At the beginning he only built electric guitars, then he started with basses and later on with classical and acoustic guitars. He applies a forward thinking approch and does not like traditionalism for its own sake. Of course the instrumentss of the great masters of the past remain points of absolute reference, but he tries to build acknowledging that we are in the second decade of the 21st century. He uses epoxy resins, aliphatic glues but also hot hide glue where needed, polyurethane paints and carbon fiber.

Agostin Custom Guitars was founded by Agostino Carella in Italy. Making custom guitars since the late 1990s, Agostino has developed a unique neck joint design with full access to the upper frets with improved stability. This neck joint can support the body with no screws or glue, and once the neck is in its place, you can forget about moving it. Agostin Custom Guitars use the highest quality tone woods which are hand selected and "tap matched" to ensure a dynamic and acoustically alive instrument. In all, the pieces get a rough cut on CNC machines, and the rest of the work is finished by hand. All guitars are finished in a nitro-cellulose lacquer to allow for maximum resonance with minimum finish buildup.
