Gerhard Schöpp luthier

Good day to you! I am glad you found your way to my page.

Let me introduce myself: My name is Gerhard Schöpp. I am a luthier in Zell am See, Austria. My work is focused on building steelstring guitars and repairs, but i do also make electric and classic guitars, archtops and violins.
Driven by my curiosity to know how things work, i started building my first guitar in the year 2008, with the help of a book and tools from my grandfather. For a few years, I kept making various guitars as a hobby, until I decided to learn the craft for real. I  attended the school for luthiery in Hallstatt, Austria from 2013 to 2017, where I learned guitarmaking, violinmaking and repairwork.
Since then, a lot has changed. I set up my workshop in my parent’s house in Zell am See, Austria, starting to work fulltime as a luthier. And what a joy it has been! Every day I am thankful to be able to work in this awesome job. This is my passion, this is what I am meant to be. Luthier through and through!
