• John van Gool started his career as guitar maker in 1978 and finished his first guitar in 1979.
• His guitars are made by the principles of Antonio Torres, of what he believes give the best result in balance as well as tonal qualities of the guitar.
• In 1988 he was able to follow a master class in guitar making with the well known guitar maker José L. Romanillos, which was repeated in 1989 and 1992 in Cordoba, Spain.

• Since 1980 he is, besides the classical guitar, also making flamenco guitars.
• In 1984 he started to make several types of the lute and after a study and investigation to the Spanish vihuela he is also making this beautiful instrument.

• The instruments are characterised by a great volume and a very comfortable playing facility for the left and right hand.
• They are played by several guitarist in Holland, Germany, Spain and the USA
• All guitars are made to the Spanish traditions, jointed to the present acoustical insights.
• Of course only the best woods and materials are used to make this beautiful instruments.
