In 1994, after graduating from high school, Andreas Cuntz began training as a plucked instrument maker at the well-known vocational school for violin makers and plucked instrument makers in Mittenwald. He specialized in acoustic guitars and soon built his first prototypes according to his own ideas . After passing his journeyman's examination, he opened his first workshop in GroĂź-Rohrheim. In addition to building his own Cuntz CWG23 models, he repaired all kinds of acoustic and electric guitars and basses for customers.
In 1999 Andreas also passed the master craftsman exam with his own model, the CWG23 12-String . This guitar was designed so that all the strings from the tuning machines ran in a straight line to the nut. This construction / acoustic became Andreas' trademark . At the beginning of the new millennium, a separate website for Cuntz guitars was created and the headstock logo, as can still be seen on Andreas Cuntz 's guitars today, was introduced.
In 2006 Cuntz took part in the Frankfurt Music Fair for the first time - and with great success. Many dealers and artists became aware of the small German company and its extraordinary guitar and bass designs . Numerous professional artists have now become enthusiastic about Cuntz guitars and play them at performances and in the studio. Cuntz 's endorsers include Steve Lukather ( Toto ), Nathan East ( Toto, Eric Clapton Band , among others), Mike Dawes and Misha Mansoor .
In 2022, Cuntz celebrated its 25th company anniversary with its master guitars and continues to enjoy great popularity among guitar connoisseurs. At session you will find a small but fine selection of different Cuntz guitars.
