Vincent Henne
Passionate Guitar Luthier
A musician for over twenty years, and after a journey as an astrophysicist, I naturally turned to fine craftsmanship. I began guitar-making in a self-taught manner in 2016, starting with my first classical guitars.
My academic journey was enhanced by technical training at the Institut Technologique Européen des Métiers de la Musique (ITEMM), where I developed expertise in traditional craftsmanship, as well as in the repair and maintenance of instruments.
I had the honor of enriching my training with master luthiers:
- Alexandre Lambert (Passion-Lutherie, Dijon)
- Bastien Girault (Sonic Red, Clermont-Ferrand).
Fine craftsmanship, from creation to repair
Specialized in classical, flamenco, and archtop jazz guitars, I offer custom creations tailored to the specific needs of professional musicians, students, enthusiasts, and lovers of fine instruments. Each piece is unique, designed and handcrafted with a constant pursuit of perfection.
I value great importance on working in accordance with centuries-old traditions, which is reflected in my classical guitar models. However, I am also driven by an endless quest for improvement and innovative ideas, which is expressed in my electric guitars.
Giving instruments a second life, setting them up, and enhancing them with precision—this is the commitment I dedicate to musicians. Because an instrument is much more than an object, I strive to preserve its integrity and extend its story.
My other facets
Having started playing the guitar at the age of ten, and with a solid musical background, I hold a degree from the Regional Conservatory of Clermont-Ferrand in classical guitar and jazz guitar.
Located in Béarn, I have been teaching guitar privately in Pau and the surrounding areas for 10 years. You can find more information on this in the dedicated page.
