 Pavlos Gypas was born in Corfu-Greece, in 1948 and he lives in Athens since 1960. During the period of 1967-1980 he attends guitar lessons in the National Conservatoire.

The inspiration of "getting into the world" of the guitar construction, steps from his encounter with the guitar-maker Nicholas Ioannou, in 1979. His wandering in the instrument construction field begins in 1980.



Many well-known guitar soloists as Leo Brouwer and Roberto Aussel said that Pavlos Gypas' guitars follow exceptionally high quality standards, . Moreover many Greek soloists as Evangelos Assimakopoulos, Lisa Zoe (of the duo Evangelos & Lisa), Elena Papandreou and Vasiliki Leontari play and record with Pavlos Gypas’ guitars.

The energy, the clarity and the long duration of the sound in combination with the "easiness" in playing the guitar make Pavlos Gypas' instruments highly valued and recognized.

Pavlos Gypas' work is greatly accepted not only in Greece but abroad as well. He has participated in numerous exhibitions - contests, two of them organized by the Radio France in 1985 and 1988.
