In Malaunay, Nathan Gricourt created his company manufacturing pickups for electric guitars. Tailor-made sounds, adapted to the music of the artists who come to see it.
It is in the heart of the city of Malaunay, where he lives, that Nathan Gricourt recently created his small business, Euterpe Guitare.
The “super heavy” for metal
The specialty of this young craftsman is the manufacture of pickups for electric guitars. “I make tailor-made, explains Nathan, depending on the style of music played by the guitarist. For example, the Bright mic for brilliant sound and moderate output resistances. Vintage Hot for 60’s / 70’s tones, ideal for blues-rock. The Heavy, ideal for the garage, punk, alternative or the Super Heavy for a lot of gain and bass, ideal for metal or Heavy metal. I adapt. “
During his training in carpentry at the Lycée Le Corbusier, Nathan, a musician and more precisely an amateur guitarist, started making his own guitar for the first time. ”
From a piece of wood, I made a copy of the guitar of the group Muse, Nathan smiles, a personal pleasure that I keep very precious. “
Trained in violin making
He continued his schooling in England and obtained a license in violin making – guitar specialty. He also learns “on the job” how to make microphones.
Back in Malaunay, Nathan sets out and creates his small business.
“Violin making is a beautiful profession but it cannot allow me to live. I put it aside for a bit. I have a professional activity to be able to feed myself and at the same time I have my small business. “
Personalized appointments
“If guitars are equipped with microphones, continues the young craftsman, this is not necessarily adapted to the desired rendering. The guitarist contacts me via Facebook for an appointment. I invite him to my little studio. Equipped with his guitar, he explains to me the style of music he produces and I suggest that he do some tests on my amps. After making a quote, he can order, and I prepare his microphone for him. I also do guitar preparation, that is to say arrangements for better performance of the instrument. “
