About Jan-Willem Eleveld
The first Fender Stratocaster in the shopwindow of a music store got stuck in my head and inspired me to play and repair guitars. In 1988 I settled in Venlo as luthier / repair man and opened a guitar shop. I worked for artists like Rowwen Heze, the Heideroosjes, Dee Dee Ramone, Ilse de Lange's guitar player and I was factory repairman for brands like Godin, Seagull , Cort and Danelectro . In 2003 I got the chance to become Quality Control Manager in the, then newly established, European Gibson Distribution Centre in Vianen. After four years I left Gibson and settled as an independent Luthier in Vianen.
