a master luthier dedication to excellence
Marc Maingard, a renowned South African luthier, has built a reputation for crafting exquisite guitars that are prized by musicians worldwide. His clientele includes legendary acts like Crosby, Stills & Nash, a testament to the exceptional quality of his instruments.
One key element contributing to the superior playability of Maingard's guitars is his unwavering commitment to using Schertler tuners. As the luthier himself states: "I use Schertler as I have very demanding clients. My guitars are expensive and my clients expect the best. I have over the years tried many different machine heads. The day that I tried the Schertler heads I have never tried another. Schertler machine heads are like a Swiss watch. Super accurate. Super smooth even under string tension. No backlash, very handsome and smart to look at. Easy to install. Simply the best in my experience of 54 years of guitar making."
This dedication to excellence resonates throughout Maingard's work. He meticulously selects the finest tonewoods and employs traditional craftsmanship combined with innovative techniques to create instruments that are both visually stunning and sonically exceptional.
Maingard's choice of Schertler tuners reflects his philosophy of using only the highest quality components. These tuners are renowned for their precision, smoothness, and durability, ensuring that his guitars remain perfectly in tune even under the most demanding playing conditions.
By incorporating Schertler tuners into his instruments, Marc Maingard further elevates the playing experience for his discerning clientele, solidifying his position as one of the world's most respected and sought-after luthiers.
Marc has also shown enthusiasm for Schertler's latest innovation, the limited edition MURANO KNOBS, made in real MURANO GLASS in collaboration with Venetians glass blower Masters. In a recent conversation, Marc expressed great interest in the new glass knobs for Schertler tuners, stating, "They look totally awesome, well done on this innovation."
