Hugues Castillon has been making electric guitars and basses in Reunion since the late 1990s. He is self taught and started out by making the standard Strat and Tele style guitars but after several years he began to make carved top Les Paul and PRS style models, using sunburst finishes and experimenting with bodies in one or more parts sometimes with different rare woods (including an Archtop with an Eucalyptus body).
