Harald Ott

Founder & Owner of Guitar Place / Responsible for Electric Guitars

Harald Ott founded Guitar Place in1987 at the age of 24. After working as a draftsman and playing in various bands since he was 15 years old, he fulfilled his dream of an own music shop. To start his business he lend the capital from his partens and opened Guitar Place in december of 1987. The first shop soon was too small and so he moved to a bigger location. Here he had the needed place for presentation of instruments, storing and workshop. The past 30 years Guitar Place moved through different concepts and stands today for high quality guitars of famous brands. His qualified team and first class workshop with his son as a luthier is a big goal for the success of Guitar Place!
