Paul's Guitars and Accessories
JWC Guitars Ltd UK Jeongwoo Cho first started making guitars and learning his skills in guitar building about 12 years ago. He worked with various guitar companies in South Korea and ultimately trained for 1O years to become a Master Luthier with Hyong Kyu Lee. His training was in classical guitar building. Later, Jeongwoo set up his own workshop at home to rnanufacture high quality, hand-built classical guitars for the Asian market. Initially sales were predominantly through guitar teachers, for their students, then more widely following exhibitions at the Daejeon annual guitar festival. Jeongwoo has also sold his classical guitars in Germany through an established classical guitar builder there. Jeongwoo had long held a passionate wish to build a true Selmer replica guitar, and it was in his quest for suitable machine heads that he contacted Tony Walker at Manouche Guitars Ltd. Over time, a close association was formed between them and after many developments and several prototypes, Jeongwoo eventually hand-built all the production requirements for JWC-Guitars Ltd.. With seven different models, customers from around the world have been delighted with their Jeongwoo hand-built guitars. JWC Guitars Ltd is relocating all manufacturing operations to Monmouthshire in the UK. All guitars under the JWC banner will now be made in Europe, home of the Selmer guitar tradition and the gypsy jazz musical genre.
