Gilles Lescot

I create contemporary classical guitars for discerning musicians.

My instruments are built entirely by hand, individually, in Maffe (Belgium). They are a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary lutherie: lattice bracing for exceptional acoustic sensitivity and expressiveness; an elevated fingerboard and an arm rest for uncompromising playing comfort.

I use wood sourced from sustainably managed forests (FSC, Crelicam ebony) and I prioritize the use of indigenous species such as walnut, maple, cherry, etc.
