Jonathan Lee (李宗盛), for the past 30 more years, has been widely recognized as a multi-platinum record producer and one of the most influential and legendary musicians in the Chinese and Taiwanese music industry. His music has touched myriads of people and has achieved an iconic status over the last few decades.Being a musician, Lee has always been closely connected to sonic equilibrium and aesthetic values. At the same time, he has been conscientiously studying every guitar type and every detail significant to the crafting, modifying, upgrading, and restoring of the instrument. Ever since the first day he started writing music, the vision to one day handcraft a world-class guitar had been deeply rooted in his heart. Finally, the fondness of music and the mission to leave a musical legacy for descending generations have led him turn a surreal passion into a full-time labor of dream.
In 1997, Lee began the second phase of his musical journey as a luthier, and established the first Lee Guitars Workshop five years later in 2002. In 2003, the first-generation S Model was born and has been well kept in his guitar cabinet to the present day.
Being analytical and precise to the extreme, Lee ensures that each wood, though varying in their density, weight, stability, grain, pattern, and color, will be combined properly so that its best qualities can shine through. It is his meticulous and stellar craftsmanship that has given each and every Lee Guitar its own life.
Today, Lee Guitars still steadfastly adheres to its high standards of musical excellence, and will continue being a torch that illuminates every musician’s love for music.
