About Jiyu guitars
Behind Jiyu guitars
The story began in 2019 when I built the first JIYU guitars prototype. My goal was to design a high-end, custom guitar that met my needs as a guitarist.
Thus, I decided to create JIYU guitars (“freedom” in Japanese) to provide musicians with a premium, customizable, and ergonomic instrument.
I recognized the challenges associated with transporting electric guitars, whether by plane, train, or car. After conducting a survey of over 150 guitarists worldwide, the conclusion was clear: 70% of us face similar issues related to bulkiness, fragility, and weight.
JIYU guitars are designed to be exceptionally lightweight, reducing strain on the body during long practice sessions or performances. This focus on ergonomics ensures a healthier playing experience without compromising on quality or sound.
Our ambition is to create instruments that exceed expectations by offering a new perspective on premium guitars.
