“The balance and the harmony of the sound, the sight and the touch of the custom 24 are just beyond imagination. After all these years, this guitar has become an extension of my own hand. I can’t imagine of another instrument fitting my needs better than this fine piece of art” – Yiannis Papadopoulos

Yiannis Papadopoulos was born on 5th April 1984 in Athens, Greece. Growing up in a family of musicians, guitar was the toy that caught his attention and became eventually his passion in life. At the early age of 4 he started taking guitar lessons from his father and at the age of 7 he enrolled in a conservatory and started his “official” practice. After a few years he got his Degree in classical guitar and classical harmony – with honors in both.

His rock/metal influences led him soon to dig deep into the rock/fusion territory which is his main area of interest and expertise. Having in mind that the only limitation in art is imagination, he constantly strives to broaden his musical style and sound, always searching for new musical paths and ways of approaching guitar playing. His passion and hard work grew his reputation as a guitar teacher and since 2002, he has been teaching guitar in many conservatories, having students from Greece and all over the world.

Yiannis is endorsing some of the best musical equipment manufacturers in the world, including PRS Guitars, Wampler pedals, Spectraflex cables, Picato Strings and Tsakalis Audiotubeworks, with whom he produced his all tube signature amp and preamp models.

Many years now, Yiannis has worked as a session musician in several bands, playing at the most famous clubs in Greece and making TV appearances in various Greek shows and events. Moreover, he has participated in many recordings by Greek and International artists as a guest musician.

In April 2012 he joined the Goin Through Band, a very famous Greek band, with which he is touring Greece, participating in huge events and festivals.

Within the next couple of years his first cd with instrumental music is about to be released.
