With my very effective way of working and many years of practical experience as a master guitar builder, also in a managerial position at Hanika-Guitars, I was able to achieve the agreed goals in the past consistently cost-efficiently and quickly. Often even outperform. That’s what I stand for with your soulmate.

Therefore it is a matter of course for soul-guitars – for everyone in the company – to create appropriate freedom. For me, openness, trust and appreciation are the key.
