Ad van Kuijk - Invidious

Ad van Kuijk

Guitars are my passion. I've been making guitars for over 25 years now, mostly classical and flamenco guitars, but also Gypsy-jazz (selmer) models and steelstring OM models.
I love to work with wood in the old way, without much machinery. Mostly use handtools. All my instruments have a french-polish finish.
Besides making new instruments I also restore valuable old instruments.
Here you will find videos about my way of making guitars.
You'll see and hear me play my own compositions.
Hope you enjoy yourself looking around here!
