IDEOLOGY OF OUR PRODUCTS

Zaletelj guitars are hand-made by the luthier Luka Zaletelj. They are made from the highest quality materials using our rich knowledge of traditional production techniques coupled with a hint of modern design.

 

”For us, a guitar is never just an instrument. We make musical instruments with an ear for the individual in order for it to become part of the guitarist’s own character. ”

TRADITION OF PERFECTION

  1. Our story

    A tradition of perfection that started more than three decades ago.

    This is our story…

  2. 1987

    Luka Zaletelj was born on May 24th, 1987 in Slovenia, into a musical family.

     

    Few years earlier Luka’s father begins designing and producing his own unique string instruments. He pays special attention to the innovative techniques of instrument production and develops the recognizable sound of his guitars through modifications in construction techniques.
