“Extraordinary instruments are born from curiosity and the courage to try.”
Marek Dabek | Luthier
Founded in Poland by master luthier Marek Dąbek, Stradi instruments merge traditional craftsmanship with bold innovation. Drawing on influences from violin design, architecture, and modern materials, Marek creates electric guitars and basses that bridge the old world and the new. Each instrument is handcrafted using locally sourced woods, carbon fiber reinforcements, and original pickup systems, all designed to deliver clarity, balance, and emotion.
Stradi’s work celebrates curiosity and experimentation—finding inspiration in the unexpected and proving that extraordinary instruments can be made from the world around us.

His wife and creative partner Agnieszka left a corporate career to join him in the workshop—first helping to prepare instruments for the Holy Grail Guitar Show, and soon becoming an indispensable part of Stradi’s precision and quality. Together, they build guitars and basses that reflect not only technical mastery but also their shared values of communication, creativity, and love for their craft and family.
Working side by side in their countryside workshop, and raising their two daughters, Marek and Agnieszka infuse every Stradi instrument with the warmth of their partnership and the spirit of discovery.
