Steel becomes instrument.
Oxyde Steel Guitars began with a simple intuition: what if steel, a material I have shaped for years, could sing too?
My name is Damien. Trained as a boilermaker, I spent years working metal — first with the discipline of the hand, then through 3D modelling and precision tools. A long-time guitarist, I eventually wanted to bring these two worlds together.
After months of research, drawings and prototypes, the first Oxyde guitar was born in June 2025. In 2026, the workshop became Oxyde Steel Guitars: a house dedicated to the craft of metal applied to musical instruments. Each piece is designed, cut, welded, oxidised and set up in my workshop near Bordeaux. No two are alike; each carries the mark of its material and its maker.
