“Where the Extraordary is the Only Standard.”
-
Unveiled at NAMM 2016, Sauvage instruments have become known for their uncommon character and their refusal to conform. They follow no template. They aim for no category. They seek only to create a moment of connection—brief, visceral, and unmistakably human.
In 2026, Sauvage introduces THE TR3PTYCH, three instruments reflecting the three great lineages of the guitar: acoustic, hollow-body, and electric. Together, they form an exploration of how sound travels through time—how heritage, emotion, and imagination can coexist within a single artistic gesture.
At Sauvage, craftsmanship is a form of inquiry. Each instrument begins with a question rather than an answer.

His most significant innovation—the patented Gyrock pickup-rotating system—redefines what an electric guitar can do. By merging traditional building techniques with modern engineering, Roure expanded the instrument’s sonic potential without sacrificing the soul of handmade craftsmanship.
Julien’s guitars and collaborations have reached global stages and prestigious brands, from signature models for Billy Gibbons to design partnerships with Hublot and Porsche. Yet his ethos remains grounded: each instrument must be honest, expressive, and built to inspire musicians.
“A great guitar shouldn’t limit you—it should invite you to explore.” — Julien Roure
