The Shoto is like a katana: precise, balanced, and uncompromising. Every choice in construction, tone, and design serves a clear purpose: an instrument for players with standards and character. No gimmicks. No excess. Just focus.

I am Unicut, Florian Lüttke.
I personally build every guitar with experience, dedication, and an uncompromising commitment to quality and character. Whether Shoto Ninja, Daimyō, or Tennō, every instrument carries my personal signature. Tangible. Audible. Unmistakable.

Yes, in addition to the Shoto series, I also build custom guitars on request. Do you have a clear vision? A specific sound or look in mind? Then send me a message. We’ll discuss it, and if it fits, I’ll bring your idea to life.

Shoto Ninja – the clear, direct entry-level model
Shoto Daimyō – with finer woods and upgraded features
Shoto Tennō – the exclusive version with maximum attention to detail

The differences are in the specs, not in quality or passion.

No, even though it really shines with gain, it’s much more than that. Clean, crunch, ambient—the Shoto feels at home wherever expression matters.
It’s not the genre that decides, it’s you.

Fast. Slim. Controlled. The neck profile is ergonomic, perfectly balanced, and designed for smooth playing without resistance, without compromise.

In Bavaria, right in the heart of Europe. My workshop is not an assembly line, but a place where character is created. Every guitar is a one-of-a-kind piece, built by hand, with heart and mind.

I primarily use specially tuned Häussel pickups for clarity, punch, and character. Depending on your preference, I also install EMG, Fishman, or DiMarzio pickups. What matters is that the tone fits you, which is why I’m happy to accommodate customer requests.

Because you don’t want a mass-produced product. You want an instrument with soul, built by someone who is passionate about what they do. I build in Bavaria, focusing on what matters most: personality, precision, and presence. And I promise you’ll feel it as soon as you play.
