The Man Behind the Wood

Jean-Jacques Mantello is a true Renaissance man. He is a gifted artist and craftsman with a wide range of abilities and interests, particularly in music, film, and sciences.

His passion for music and lutherie ignited during childhood. His journey is devoted to shaping wood and transforming raw materials into magnificent and melodious guitars of spectacular aesthetics.

Crafting a luxurious guitar from the dense, resilient wood of an olive tree is a near-impossible feat—an extraordinary challenge that artist Mantello set for himself to honor this millennia-old wood.

Mantello's work involves building guitars and creating a harmonious blend of artistry and engineering that resonates through each instrument.

Located in the heart of Provence, France, in the village of Entrecasteaux, Mantello combines decades of expertise with an unwavering commitment to quality, continually pushing the boundaries of guitar-making.
