What They Say
Hear from those who love using 962woodworks products.
962woodworks guitars are not only beautiful but thoughtfully crafted with every detail considered for the player. Any guitarist would be amazed by his meticulous craftsmanship. ...Actually, Luthier Akifumi has been a long-time friend of mine. I remember the day he first said he wanted to make guitars. At the time, I was like 'Whoa? What?' haha But he's a man who gets things done. Now I can say he's making completely professional guitars. For anyone who wants a unique and beautiful guitar, this would be the best choice.

Akifumi Naiki
1992/5/10 -
Luthier (Guitar Maker), Descendant of Ninja.
Struck by the power and avant-garde nature of 8-string guitars in their early days, I aspired to become a luthier to create better guitars like no other.
I apply the specialized knowledge of materials engineering that I studied in graduate school to guitar making and other crafts.
Passionate about creating beautiful and functional products, I aim for "products that move customers' hearts" and would love for you to experience them firsthand.
