About DJP
Dan Petrovic (DJP) began woodworking at an early age. His fascination and curiosity with wood and wooden instruments led him to attend a year long apprenticeship program under the tutelage of master luthier Sasha Radicic. DJP met Sasha Radicic at the 2001 Midwest Guitar Show, which coincidentally also attracted the attendance of Ervin Somogyi, whose website and blog has been a tremendous source of DJP’s inspiration. The apprenticeship experience with Mr. Radicic coalesced DJP’s love of woodworking and music, and launched him in the direction he desired – building custom guitars.
Since then, DJP has studied carving, marquetry, wood finishing, and repair. DJP formerly worked in the furniture restoration/repair and cabinet industries. He continues to design, build, and finish one-of-a-kind guitars.
