About Us
8GEN-KOUTA is a distinguished guitar workshop based in Osaka, Japan, established in 2006 by Hisashi Kato and his team of skilled guitar technicians. Originally, we specialized solely in repairs, mastering the art over many years before venturing into crafting our own instruments. Today, we pride ourselves on creating guitars that stay true to the basics while delivering exceptional satisfaction and awe from the very first tune.
Our philosophy
Through years of repairing vintage guitars, we have accumulated profound knowledge and sound imagery of real vintage instruments, not mere copy models. This deep understanding guides us in our craft, enabling us to produce genuine instruments that resonate with authenticity.
Our Guitars
Our mission is to create guitars that you'll want to play forever. It's not just about making replicas; it's about crafting real instruments that become an extension of the musician. We are committed to building guitars that inspire and deliver an unmatched playing experience.
