About the Guitar Maker

Renan Aouam, born in 1986, developed a passion for music at an early age, first studying piano before discovering his love for woodworking during an internship with a restorer of antique furniture. Driven by curiosity, he began building guitars on his own before pursuing formal training in Madrid.

In 2018, he opened his first workshop in Pamplona, marking the official start of his professional career as a luthier. A pivotal encounter with Jean-Noël Rohé profoundly influenced his building techniques and led to a transformation in his craftsmanship. In 2021, Renan returned to France and established a close connection with Jean-Pierre Mazé, a close associate of Robert Bouchet. Mazé shared with him invaluable insights gained from Bouchet, along with his own vast experience in guitar making.

Craftsmanship and Tonal Aesthetics

His latest guitar features a spruce soundboard and Indian rosewood back and sides with striking grain patterns and traditional bracing. The reinforced sides contribute to enhanced projection and tonal balance. The sound is powerful yet refined, responding easily and offering rich tonal colors with minimal effort.

The instrument provides an exceptionally responsive playing experience, allowing for a wide range of tonal expression and dynamic control. Its vibratos produce an airy quality in the overtones, adding a sense of depth and sophistication to the sound.

Influence and Style

Renan Aouam’s work reflects the heritage of the French guitar-making tradition while embracing a contemporary artistic vision. His instruments combine traditional craftsmanship, precision, and expressive character, offering musicians an inspiring and responsive instrument that invites exploration of a broad musical palette.
