MAIKEL VAN DER WEL
Luthier
As a passionate guitarist and luthier, my journey began with training at the International Lutherie School in Antwerp, where I learned extensively about tools, materials, and historical instruments. In 2015, I established Wel Guitars, building a reputation for using premium, exotic woods and unique finishes to create custom guitars.
For years, I have been a huge fan of Daria Padalka’s guitars, admiring her unique blend of classic shapes and modern designs. Joining Infinia Guitars is an exciting next step, allowing me to bring my expertise to a brand that values high-quality, handmade craftsmanship.
While continuing to run Wel Guitars, I look forward to collaborating with the Infinia team. Together, we will uphold Daria’s vision and create extraordinary guitars, ensuring each instrument is crafted to perfection.
