Our team
Dr Scalpa and myself are true enthusiasts . We love guitars , tube amps and roots music … Blues , Jazz , and Rock !!
At TY MOJO BIHAN we only select the best vintage guitars , with , I must confess , a true preference for Vintage Japanese guitars ( known as MIJ , lawsuit etc ..)
Do not panic yet guys ! We also love American guitars here ! Our view is based on the fact that buying a Mojo and a good sound are more important than buying a logo or a brand … To make it short … who cares as long as it sounds good !

Dr Scalpa
Dr Scalpa has accumulated a huge experience over the years , as a backliner to start with then as a guitar tech on different tours .. He also performed as a player in different bands such as Dolly&co , Scalp&co and recently Redskin girl .
He is a true specialist , and can fix virtually anything on your guitar. He is also well known for his competencies in tube amp technology .
That is the reason why MIJ guitars are so great … If you are not familiar with japan and their fascinating culture , you should know that “ average” is not a very popular word in japan and is more or less seen as a failure …
Quality is not a “ luxury option “ but the standard everyone should reach …
Several Japanese Master luthiers are very famous for their recognized skills and they really deserve it .
Factories such as Matsumoku , Fujigen or terada .. they all built top-notch quality guitars from the beginning of the 70’s till now …
One’s can easily imagine Japanese state of mind after WWII … Stealing a march on legendary US guitar brands during the “ power flower era “…
These MIJ guitars are true historic pieces , for musicians , or collectors … no one can deny their qualities as such
So … what about US guitar brands ? We do love them too . no competiton there .
As a proof , my favorite brand is Rickenbacker , sort of a “niche” manufacturer these days but lovely guitars and moreover … one of the last who managed to preserve their DNA and their soul .
Isn’t it the finality after all ? a piece of wood … a piece of history put together to awaken senses ... starting with emotion …??
That is our daily task at TY MOJO BIHAN !
