Amistar

Leewald Resophonic Guitars


Founded in 1991 by Frantisek Javurek in Jeneč, Czech Republic.

In 1997 it became Amistar and expanded to a production line from the one man outfit.

In 2015 the name changed again and it is now Leewald

As Amistar they mainly made single and tricone Resonator Guitars, but they do also made other single cone resonator instruments to though like Mandolins and Ukuleles, (They were the OEM for Risa's Resonator Ukuleles so it's hard to find one of their Ukuleles not branded Risa).

As Leewald they only appear to make Guitars now
