At GitaarBarbaar, we believe a guitar is more than just a piece of wood with strings. It's emotion, character, and craftsmanship. But who's responsible for ensuring your new purchase arrives perfectly tuned ? Who answers your messages, and who hunts down those unique vintage gems?
We're a team of musicians , technicians, and enthusiasts. Each with their own specialty, but all sharing the same passion: guitars .
Danny Gruijters
Founder & Visionary
Danny is the driving force behind GitaarBarbaar. He launched the adventure in 2022 with a clear mission: to shake up the guitar world with quality and personal contact. His commercial background keeps him on track, but his passion truly takes off for entrepreneurship, collaboration, and, of course, great guitar music.
Peter Geels
Master Luthier
umor has it that Peter was born with a pick in his hand. The fact is, he's been involved with GitaarBarbaar since day one and has been indispensable ever since. As a Master Luthier, he lives and breathes wood and strings. Do you have a complex repair or a vintage restoration? Peter is the magician who can fix it.
Don Vink
E-Commerce Specialist
Don ensures our digital storefront sounds as crisp as a freshly tuned Strat. He combines his years of stage experience with technical skills to keep the webshop running smoothly. He also ensures our newsletters hit the right note. A musical jack-of-all-trades and an indispensable part of the team.
Jordy van Alphen
Luthier
Jordy brings a wealth of knowledge to the workbench. As a Rock City Institute graduate, he understands like no other how a guitar should feel in practice. He combines technical expertise with playing experience and puts the finishing touches on every setup.
Abel Brito Centeno
Luthier
For most people, work is just work, but for Abel, it's practically meditation. He finds inner peace in perfectly tuning instruments. He calls it "therapeutic," we call it pure precision. Abel ensures your guitar not only sounds good but plays fantastically too.
Gijs de Jong
Guitar Sourcer & Support
Gijs is the voice of GitaarBarbaar and often the first point of contact. He combines his inquisitiveness for unique guitars with a keen ear for your needs. No automated answers, just personal contact with a sense of the musician behind the request.
Niek 'Sixstring'
Photography & Logistics
You want to see exactly what you're buying, and Niek makes sure you do. With his eye for detail, he captures every scratch, grain, and curve in crystal clear detail.
