And so, at the age of nearly fifty, I became a luthier. For about forty years, I had been in love with music. I admired the beauty of instruments and tried to fix those that were broken or out of tune. I developed a sense of humility and a willingness simply to learn and serve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For some, it is possible to know, even from a young age, what path they will pursue. A young entrepreneur may begin by selling stickers or lego bricks. This was not my story. For many years, I tried different things, always pursuing something creative in order to discover my passion. I wrote and played music, wrote lyrics, and ran an interiors renovations business, until eventually these various elements came together in creating instruments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sometimes you can see future even in little child. Little businessman will make business on lego stickers. But it is not me. After many years of working on different fields I coul discover that creating is somethig<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I am not a pioneer. But I am also not a &#8220;copy and paste&#8221; man. I find myself in between. I am always looking to bring something new to the art of guitar building. I am not afraid of new challenges, but when it makes most sense, I am also not afraid to use proven and effective solutions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I would probably have never had the courage to build custom made guitars (especially acoustic), without Lukas Brunner (http:\/\/www.brunner-guitars.com\/), my mentor and now friend. Lukas has had a huge impact on my education. His great experience and ongoing support give me a great sense of safety in fields as yet unknown to me.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6\"><\/p>\n<div class='grid cs-style-3'>\n\t<div class='polaindie frame lightbox'>\n\t\t<a href='http:\/\/sliwaguitars.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/02\/js.jpg' rel='prettyPhoto[]' title='Jacek \u015aliwa'>\n\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t<img src='http:\/\/sliwaguitars.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/02\/js.jpg' alt=''>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span> KLIKNIJ <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Jacek \u015aliwa<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sliwaguitars.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/88"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sliwaguitars.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sliwaguitars.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sliwaguitars.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sliwaguitars.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/sliwaguitars.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/88\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":317,"href":"https:\/\/sliwaguitars.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/88\/revisions\/317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sliwaguitars.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
