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 making guitars on my own in 2016, starting with my first classical guitars.
My academic training 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 uncompromising pursuit of perfection.
I place great importance on respecting 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 comes through 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 offering private guitar lessons in Pau and the surrounding areas for the past ten years. You can find more information on this in the dedicated page.
