In 1991 Kritz moved into musical instrument manufacture focusing on electric guitars using CNC manufacture and composite materials. Fritz models include various innovative features: curved "Smile" frets, Fritzwood composite nuts, Kritz Intonation Compensation, asymmetric neck profiles and carbon reinforced 4Everneck necks.
