ABOUT SENTOUS
Sentous Guitars is the work of Armand Sentous—luthier, repair specialist and builder. For more than two decades, his work has lived at the intersection of repair, design and custom guitar building.
A WORKING LUTHIER
Based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Armand approaches every instrument through the reality of the player who will live with it. Feel, response, balance, sound and reliability are considered together—from the first conversation to the final setup.
His experience spans guitar and bass repair, custom construction, electronics, pickups and detailed fretwork. That repair background is not separate from the guitars he builds; it informs every decision.
A CRAFT SHAPED BY EXPERIENCE
Armand’s approach has been shaped over years of hands-on work and through the guidance of Dan Erlewine, a longstanding mentor and collaborator. The goal is never ornament for its own sake—it is an instrument that feels immediate, personal and ready for a life in music.
BUILT FOR THE PLAYER
Each guitar begins with the musician, their hands, their sound and the way they use an instrument.
REPAIR SHAPES THE BUILD
Decades at the bench bring a practical understanding of what makes an instrument perform over time.
KNOWLEDGE SHARED
The same craft is passed on through hands-on teaching, technical guidance and an extensive video library.
THE WORK CONTINUES
Sentous Guitars builds custom instruments, restores and refines the ones already loved, winds pickups and teaches the craft to the next generation of builders and players.
