In the workshop with Robert Schotman – guitar technician in Heino
Behind every setup at Gitaar Afstellen Nederland is a craftsman with a story of his own. In Heino, that craftsman is Robert Schotman, a luthier with a great passion for guitars. In this article we take you inside his workshop – Gitaar Afstellen Heino.
Who is Robert from Gitaar Afstellen Heino?
I work from my own workshop in Heino, where I set up and repair guitars and basses with great passion. For many years I have been working with all kinds of guitars and basses. In 2013 I joined Serpent King Guitars, the brand and company of Henri Sattler (known for God Dethroned). There, I learned how the ideal guitar is built and finished. Nowadays, I build guitars under the name Schotman Guitars, my own brand that focuses on exclusive high-end instruments produced in small series per model. Each guitar begins as an unfinished piece of wood and leaves the workshop as a finished instrument. I bring that experience to my work every day as a guitar repairer for Gitaar Afstellen Heino.
From standard setups to solving complex problems, I make sure your instrument sounds and plays perfectly again. From repairing a broken neck to refretting a fretboard, repairing lacquer damage or replacing and setting up electronics and hardware. My goal is simple: I want to help you play with joy and confidence again. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced musician, quality is always my top priority. Every job, big or small, receives the same care and attention.
