Korea

Guitar maker Lee Yong-han, who began learning guitar performance during university while preparing for a career in guitar making, says that his childhood interest in disassembling household appliances and participating in model airplane clubs provided the necessary foundation for his path as a luthier. After graduating from university, he started his career at the acoustic guitar manufacturer Cortek. Preferring simplicity and comfort over complexity, he creates instruments that are unpretentious and timeless, reflecting his own character in their enduring design.
