Custom Guitars

All PK guitars are completely hand made. Patrick saws the bodies and necks himself and he and he uses only first class, personally selected woods. Whichever sound you are after, Patrick can make it happen. PK guitars are well known for their excellent sound, sustain, a high level of detail and their excellent playability.

Pkguitars are custom made: You can decide on all specs and looks. All models and designs are possible. With Patrick's input you can decide on your dream design. You can also look at his wood supply and personally choose your woods. And Patrick will build and build until you are holding your dream guitar.

"I'm not the only luthier in Holland. I do have many collaegues who are building magnificent guitars. So it's difficult for me to say why you should come to me. I don't like to blow my own horn, so to speak. However, I will say that I won't stop until the desired results are there - no matter what it takes, until my customers are happy. That's my promise."
