Inspired by rock band Muse’s guitars and basses, Alexandre studied at the Newark School of Guitar Making in England. He began by building his first guitar in the family garage. Since 2009, he has been designing, building, maintaining, and customizing instruments in his workshop in the Yvelines, always striving to create the perfect guitar for each musician. This photoshoot aims to showcase his craftsmanship, studio, and workspace.
This artisan photoshoot introduces Alexandre Bourdonnais, a master luthier and founder of Heaven Guitars. Since 2009, Alexandre has been crafting electric and acoustic guitars and basses. While he enjoys working on electric guitars, his true passion lies in making acoustic guitars. Each instrument is a unique piece, where the choice of wood, shape, and thickness are essential. With no amplifier to alter the sound, everything depends on Alexandre’s skill to produce exceptional tones.
