Our Background
My name is Igor Keller, and I have been working as a luthier since 1993.
I began my professional career at Neuser Bass Guitars, where we built high-end bass instruments for professional musicians worldwide. Our instruments were used by artists such as Armand Sabal-Lecco, Stanley Clarke, and John Paul Jones.
From 1997 to 1999, I worked as a church organ restorer in Slovakia, where I participated in the restoration of historic pipe organs, including instruments in culturally significant buildings such as the Wooden Articular Church in Kežmarok, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Between 2005 and 2006, I worked in The String shop in Amsterdam with my mentor Ritch van Gessel, specializing in the repair and restoration of vintage guitars and basses from the 1950s and 1960s (Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, Guild, and others). During this time, I deepened my expertise in vintage construction methods and traditional repair techniques.
Keller Guitars
Today, Keller Guitars is focused on building and restoring high-end instruments that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern precision.
Every instrument is built with attention to detail, tone, and playability. We specialize in recreating vintage-correct
specifications while also offering modern custom designs tailored to the needs of professional musicians.
Our goal is simple: to create instruments that inspire musicians and stand the test of time.
