Rikk Kutan: Owner/Founder/President/Musician
I was tired of working odd jobs for months on end then going to the local music store and being forced to buy the same over-priced, cookie-cutter guitars that every other tom, dick, and harry was playing at the time only to have to often spend 2-3 times the amount of the initial guitar to make it my own.
Once I was old and wise enough to know better, I researched the innovators and decided to create my own company that caters to players like me. My goal is to provide affordable, American hand-made, custom, acoustic and electric guitars and basses, built to each customers specifications.
If you are the type of frustrated, overwhelmed, and talented guitarist or bassist I know you are, KGB Guitars is the company for you.
Jami: VP/Designer
I've been playing in bands since I was 15 and disassembling and reassemblng guitars since about the same time. At one point, I was a tattoo artist, but now I'm a designer by trade. Although I've never been to school for it, I'm currently doing freelance graphic design. I've learned from some of the bests in the poster art and graphic design circles. I've done show posters, flyers, custom toys, skateboard art, etc. I currently go to school for industrial/product design. Basicly, I'm the aesthetics and design side of KGB. With my knowledge and experience of how guitars work teamed up with my history of design, it is my job to make your KGB guitar stand out from the pack. Even if you opt for one of our more tradional style bodies, its our design influence and our collective inginuity that will make your specifications a reality. If you can dream it, its my team and I that figures out how to make it. Designing custom paint jobs, body shapes and graphics, that is the work of the design department. We interpret consumer requests into a whole design for the custom shape to create. We also do the reseach. If you want something crazy, we'll figure out how to make it. The skies the limit with KGB, and we're bringing it you.
