STAŠA PUŠKARIĆ

This graduated geological engineer started building guitars in 2000 with his first work being electric guitars. He has been dedicated to classical guitars since 2020, and his goal is to have an individual approach to each guitar, to give them an individual character with small changes in the thickness of the vocal cords, grinding angles, thickness and number of ribs, and combinations of different materials. As of this year, he has been using exclusively Swiss spruce from the Bergun area and Lebanese cedar to make the body of the guitar.
