The European Guitar Builders is an alliance formed by professional independent European luthiers.
We are dedicated to support each other by sharing knowledge, resources, and experience in order to preserve and innovate the art and craft of guitar building in Europe as a vital part of our musical culture.
We strive to support musicians in expressing and developing their art through collaborating closely with them, thereby fostering the European musical culture.
We want to promote sustainable development, ecologic awareness and economic growth in an ethical way. A major goal is to educate consumers about the values they support by their choices and how this impacts the goals of the association.
In order to achieve these goals the association will create and maintain a strong presence in the Internet and Media and organize events like the EGB Symposium and an annual international guitar exhibition.
For more details about EGB refer to the Q & A section or download the bylaws below.
