"This guitar is like a friend! I know everything about my instrument – what it was made of, who made it, where and how it was made.
I trust it like a dear friend; real feelings. This guitar has a soul! I understood that the more I play it, the more I want to play it.
Just like a real friendship – it will only become stronger as years go by"
Dmitriy Chetvergov
“My Israeli custom-made Polak/ERG gives me the ability to combine all of my playing styles
Such diversity is achieved due to the incredible properties of wood that has a unique ability to accurately react to changes in sound extraction, and is a key value for ERG Custom Guitars”
