Meet your builder Viliam Palcek
Right now Victum is a one man show, only the tolerance from my family allows me to follow my passion. With over 20 years of experience in setting up, modifying and building, I am very excited to make your dream guitar reality. Let's make it happen!
Me with my first finished scratch build guitar
It all started at a wedding - I was maybe 7 years old and I remember that there was a live band, one of the guys was playing electric guitar. They would take breaks between songs and the guitarist would put his instrument on a stand. I would try to get closer and closer just to look at that beauty. It was an Ibanez with tremolo. Since that day I knew I’d be involved in music just to get closer to THE guitar. I grew up in a small village in Slovakia. When I was 13 I bought my first real guitar - a very cheap acoustic. I worked hard to learn how to play it, and my parents saw this passion and got me my first electric guitar, one of the strat copies with amp and everything I needed. I took it apart and repainted it flat black with a mirror pickguard. As I learned to play better I started studying what makes guitar great. Along the way I perfected my processes of fret work, wood working, finish, and today I can say my instruments are exactly what I would look for in finding a great guitar.
