Blackmachine

Blackmachine

If you're willing to wait 3+ years

Emperion have a custom option I THINK but has they haven't arrived yet for people to pass judgement the name is very much up in the air...

 

[Andromalia]

Amfisound

I'm definitely keeping an eye on this thread and subscribing for future reference... I might need it in a few years, as things in the US are getting rather messed up.

I only knew of Emperion Guitars, Blackmachine (which I totally crave), and Daemoness, from whom Nolly (from SS.org) is getting an AWESOME custom; the guy REALLY knows how to work his stuff. I have a friend who has custom-made bass from Germany, although I never bothered asking who made it. I'm sure there are quite a few good luthiers in Europe.

Anyone living in Romania or nearby should check Grosmann guitars, as used by the guitarist of Rotting christ. Not that endoresements should be a reason for getting a guitar but just to give a taste of the sound.

GROSMANN Guitars

 

[gui94]

Cheers, everyone

Funny but not all CS guitar shops are online, nor can you find info on them sometimes so easily.

True, but every shop in this thread can.

Can you give me an example of a credible CS or Luthier in the EU that cannot be found via Google, or similar online search?

Yeah I can actually but then since most of us in this thread have not played all these shops guitars we can't put them down as credible. Hell you can't say that word anymore with CS shops or big companies.

Google is always a good idea, but the search possibilties are many, so I think such a list can be quite useful.
