Duvoisin Guitars SA

Allgemeine Informationen

Our company is born in 2006 as “Duvoisin & Co.”, when its sole owner, Jacques Duvoisin, decided to pursue his quest to build and manufacture the perfect bass. Renting the space adjacent to his son Gilles’ guitar shop “Ace Guitars”, they join forces to build bass and guitar that will answer their bill of specifications. In order to get the wood work right, they are joined part time by Didier Coulet whose family owns a carpentry. The trio markets their first basses and guitars, fitted with retail electronics, in 2006, but Jacques wants to go a few steps further. He wants to design a new bridge for both instruments and develop active pickups for the bass. The completion of that target signs his partnership with Gérald Huguenin in 2007. He will be the father and designer of the electronic circuit board, thanks to a cooperation with the HE ARC school of Neuchâtel. The new active pickups are completed in 2007 and the Fat Standard bass will be offered, alongside the Custom, in 2012 for the first time.
