Biography
By the age of 13, Lubos picked up and learned to play his first instrument, the mandolin. Soon after that he learned to play guitar and found his calling to a life revolving music and instruments. Upon entering high school, Lubos stopped making models and started learning the art of instrument design. With a little help from some local luthiers, Lubos began to dedicate his time to the maintenance, restoration, and repair of any stringed instrument he could find in need of some attention. By the age of 17, Lubos had designed and built his first classical guitar.
In 1983, Lubos emigrated to the United States and found his new home in Boston near the Berklee College of Music. Being surrounded by so many talented musicians gave Lubos the opportunity to continue working on his restorations while immersed in a brand new musical culture. After a year in Boston, he moved south to Miami, another city with a rich and diverse musical history. Here, Lubos found employment repairing the instruments for the band members working on the many cruise ships that made port in the city’s waters.
As he continued to familiarize himself with the various components of the instruments he repaired, Lubos started making his own custom instruments on the side. After a handful of successful builds sold by word of mouth among his close friends, Lubos decided to turn his passion into a career and started building custom instruments full time in 2003. Today, Lubos spends much of his time traveling across the country attending various festivals and trade conventions to promote his business. His specialty in vintage classical guitars also allows him privileged access to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Christie’s Auctions in New York, where he is allowed private measuring and photography sessions with some of the oldest and most rare guitars in the world.
As a musician himself, Lubos has dedicated his life to understanding the mysterious essence every player looks for in a guitar. Each custom piece he designs and builds delivers a unique tone, timbre, voice, and resonance that all musicians look for in a quality instrument. It is this essence that inspires him to create, and he has made it his life’s quest to strike that perfect balance in each custom piece he builds.
