S'appuyant sur des références fortes tant dans la musique que dans l'évolution historique de la guitare elle-même : Le luthier québécois Thierry André conçoit et fabrique chaque année un nombre limité d'instruments, créant chacun d'eux à partir de dessins, gabarits et moules de fabrication développés avec l'objectif premier de refléter sa vision authentique et contemporaine de la guitare.
My guitars are made one by one, with heart.
They are designed for the long term, and are part of a lineage that now stands out internationally.
-What I like about your work is that it is visionary. It is as if your guitars were coming from a different time, that could be forward or the past.-

I'm not sure about that. One thing is certain, combining sound, form and function, my instruments respond pertinently to the needs of both players and collectors.
- Between acoustic science, know-how, materials and artistry, it is by intuitively combining these fields that I can fully highlight the primary function of my work: - Its capacity to move others.

From here - The sound, the ergonomics, the playability, it's all up to you.
