Olivier Planchon: Renowned French Guitar Maker
French guitar maker Olivier Planchon has established himself as a prominent figure in the world of musical instrument craftsmanship. Through his exceptional skills and tireless pursuit of perfection, he has secured a place among the finest in his field.
Who Is Olivier Planchon?
Olivier Planchon is a craftsman of the highest caliber who won the title of “Meilleur Ouvrier de France,” Best Craftsman in France, in 2007. He learned his craft from the best, including mentors like Daniel Lesueur, who instilled in him the love for the work and the pursuit of perfection.
The Philosophy of Olivier Planchon
Olivier Planchon sees the construction of a classical guitar as a kind of mystical initiation. “Utmost concentration is required to embark on the long journey to creating a potentially ‘great’ instrument,” he says. His goal is to craft an instrument that aligns with his taste, even more so than with passing trends.
Throughout his career, Planchon has sought to find answers to questions that his mentors couldn’t address. “Just as in all artistic creations, the questions are never-ending, and therein lies the joy of the craft—each day brings a new discovery,” he says.
For Planchon, the essence of guitar making craftsmanship lies in humility before the living material and the perfection of the acoustics associated with these diverse woods. “In sound, I feel somewhat like a sculptor,” he says.
