Patrick Geser<\/strong>,\u00a0has been with GT since 1997, played in his brothers’ band since he was 8 years old; loves snowboarding as much as enjoying the beach; has survived the music of the 80s almost unscathed and since then can hardly part with good guitars; but always overcomes himself to sell even his best pieces to real enthusiasts like you. As the owner of GT, Patrick is the man with the vision. He is our leading expert on vintage guitars and handles appraisals as well as buying vintage instruments.<\/p>\n\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t \t\t \t\t

Yonca \u00d6zen<\/strong> has successfully completed her apprenticeship as a retail professional with us in 2018. We are glad that she has decided to continue working with us, because she has quickly become a popular and eloquent saleswoman. She also shows as being any in the workshop (her self-made ES-style guitar sounds incredibly good). In her free time she likes to sing a lot. She accompanies herself on her J-45 or on the piano. She also enjoys cycling through Zurich, playing volleyball or enjoying the winter on her snowboard.<\/p>\n\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t \t\t \t\t
