OUR FRIENDS
Kirk Hammett
On November 3, 1998, at the Planeta club in Warsaw, Marek Witkowski and his son Adam met with the guitarist of Metallica - Kirk Hammett. On the occasion of the upcoming musician's birthday, Adam presented him as a gift the "Witkowski ST junior" guitar. The pleasant surprise and joy of Kirk from the received gift was indescribable ...
Steve Lukather
In February 1999, after the Toto's concert in the Congress Hall In Warsaw, Marek Witkowski and his son Adam met with the band's guitarist - Steve Lukather and handed him the "Witkowski LP junior" guitar. The musician was pleasantly surprised. If words officially considered vulgar were omitted, it could be said that Luke was enjoying himself like a child. Later, after playing this guitar connected to an amplifier, he announced in correspondence that the guitar is "awesome"...
Steve Vai
In April 2000, in the Congress Hall in Warsaw, after Steve Vai's concert, Marek and Adam Witkowski met with the guitar virtuoso. Especially for this occasion, Witkowski - Custom Guitars prepared a model from the junior series called "Vai's Ultimate Guitar", which was presented to Vai to commemorate the joint meeting. The master was very pleasantly surprised by this gesture. He couldn't help but admire the little guitar. Vai said he would use it on his new album ...
Joe Satriani
On July 12, 2002, after Joe Satriani's concert in the Congress Hall, Marek and Adam Witkowski met the guitar virtuoso and presented him with the guitar "Witkowski JS Junior" as a gift. The musician - apart from playing it for a while - examined it carefully. First of all, he noticed the perfectly (as he called it) installed frets, nice wood, artistic finish and some practical technical solutions that he lacks in some of his Ibanezes.
Gary Moore
On July 19, 2002, Gary Moore gave a concert in Spodek in Katowice. Before he went to Silesia, however, he met us at the Victoria Hotel in Warsaw. There we gave him a small Junior LP. Gary was delighted with the gift because the guitar looked exactly like the one he received from his friend Peter Green 30 years ago, except that it was (as he said) a bit smaller ... We witnessed his first impression - he repeated all the time: "wow!" Later, however, when he left the capital, he could not enjoy the guitar. Our friends, who accompanied Gary during his stay in Poland, said that Gary took Junior in his hand to play on it, whenever he had free time.
Mark Knopfler
W listopadzie 2000 roku, w klubie 'Lokomotywa’, odbył się koncert słynnego gitarzysty i wokalisty legendarnej grupy Dire Straits – Marka Knopflera, który promował swoją ostatnią płytę solową 'Sailing to Philadelphia’. Koncert miał charakter imprezy zamkniętej, na którą przyszli wyłącznie członkowie elity środowiska muzycznego. Po koncercie odbył się bankiet, na którym Marek Witkowski podarował Markowi Knopflerowi małą gitarkę model 'Witkowski ST3 junior’. Muzyk był zachwycony prezentem. Powiedział, że nareszcie będzie mógł zabrać gitarę ze sobą do samolotu (za kilka dni miał lecieć na Karaiby)…
Zakk Wylde
After Ozzy Osbourne's performance at the Ozzfest festival in May 2002, our friend Dziki met Ozzy's guitarist Zakk Wylde and handed him a miniature, faithful replica of his guitar on our behalf.
Jeff Beck
On June 21, 2011, in Warsaw took place a concert of one of the greatest rock guitarists - the unique Jeff Beck. On the occasion of Jeff's 67th birthday (June 24, 1944) Witkowski - Custom Guitars has prepared a special gift - a copy of the guitar played by Jeff in a 3/4 scale. After a great performance, Jeff received a gift during a personal audience. He was very pleasantly surprised. Another guitar giant joined a special group of our guitarist friends.
