Keiuke Nishi , I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. After graduated from ESP Guitar Craft Achademy,went to Roverto-Venn School of Luthiery in AZ, USA. I learned basic guitar making skills and knowledge from these two schools. in Boston.(firstact.com) I made many custom electric guitars for many musicians. I also did some R&D works and made few models. Which is still selling

in the US. When I was working at First Act, I met Mario Beauregard. Who is well known as one of the best Luthier today. So, I told him that I want to learn from him. It took few month to get permission to go and learn from him. So, I went Montreal to learn from Mario. stayed there for one year. I learned so many things from him and still learning from his new staff. I went back to Japan in and started Keystone Stringe Instruments in summe of 2007.

Works in progress. Around the neck joint of cutaway side. Neck heel is not done yet but I really love final shaping\sanding around neck joint. Because this is the time when all the hard work up until now will begin to bear fruit. Especially when I’m working with such a lovely looking material!

Being Luthier is such a hard life.

One of the latest creation!
Model SJ with multi scale neck jointed at 12 th fret.
This particular guitar is made for a costumer who plays piano classic music on steel string guitar. So he wanted this guitar sounds similar to grand piano. That was quite challenging for me but I was really happy and proud for the result!

SJ Custom 2026. Multi scale neck jointed at 12th fret.
The one from last batch. I haven't try the 12th fret neck joint on large body for long time but I really like the sound of it! Very sensitive and really wide range of sound. Really deep bass and fat and sensitive highs. So fun to play!
The inlays on fingerboard is all done by Ogawa Inlay Craft!!

今年最新の一本です。 SJモデルですが12フレットジョイントで更にファンフレット仕様です。12フレットジョイントにすることでブリッジの位置が変わり音に多大な変化をもたらしています。
低音のレンジは更に深くなり、高音は太くまろみが有りつつも非常にセンシティブなタッチにも敏感に反応する繊細さがあります。
指板のインレイは勿論小川インレイクラフト様! 流石の一言!

この一本写真撮るのに約半日、、、、目で見ているはずの物をカメラで捉えることの難しいこと難しいとこ、、、、ド素人の自分にはなおさらです。 ギターに付いてたホコリも頑張って除去したけど全然のこってるし、、、涙
