We documented a very special CARS & GUITARS project – The Widowmaker!

Featuring #2559 The Widowmaker (Porsch Guitar – Masterpiece)

I had the chance to bring a dream project to life: creating a guitar inspired by my favorite childhood slot car Porsche – and by its legendary big brother, the original Porsche 930 Turbo. That’s how The Widowmaker was born. I even had the opportunity to drive the car at the Hockenheimring racetrack, where we also shot a short movie about the project, find the Link out in our bio. A true full-circle moment for me. So, turn up the volume and spin out! You can discover the Cars & Guitars concept on our website!

Available! The Feuerpferd (2540)

Feuerpferd: There are moments when standing still is simply not an option. When the path ahead is uncertain, but something inside says: go.

The Fire Horse represents that moment. The courage to take risks, to enter new territory, and to trust in your own strength.

Fire provides the energy. The horse provides the movement.

And somewhere ahead lies the future.

Let me introduce: the Störtebeker!

This bass is an entirely new model inspired by the legendary German pirate Klaus Störtebeker. The name "Beker" is derived from Störtebeker, whose story has become a symbol of rebellion, freedom and independence. At the same time, "The Beker" represents my personal interpretation of the iconic
Thunderbird-style bass, transformed into a completely new Ritter design language.

The starting point for its silhouette was unusual: two pirate sabers. Their sweeping forms define the body, while the sabre-like contours are accentuated in silver, evoking the sharp edges of blades cutting through the instrument’s light-blue surface. The blue finish itself represents the sea, the open sky and the idea of freedom. The inspiration for this Project emerged in a creative conversation with from the famous Rock`n Roll venue

PREVIEW! „The Sound of the Boston Celtics“ (SOLD)

This Intune frame is a special one, especially when you’re into basketball: it shows a picture of a packed Boston Garden (1928 - 1995 at Causeway Street) and Larry throwing a free throw in the Boston Celtics vs. Phoenix Suns game on November 8th in 1985. The won this one 125:101. The Boston Garden is now history, but for this Intune frame, I could find an original, certifided piece of the Boston Garden floor with an original signature of Larry Bird an integrated it into the guitar.

What an exciting project! Soon we will release more information about this one, so stay tuned for more!

From trash to treasure. From waste to art.

Together with Jessica Cheam from and .impact, I created a one-of-a-kind guitar handcrafted from plastic waste collected in Singapore.

Fully playable, the instrument transforms discarded material into a piece of art. Showing what can happen when sustainability meets creative imagination.

The guitar made its debut today at Unlocking Capital for Sustainability 2026 at AT ONE Impact Week in Singapore, where I unveiled it in person.

Afterwards, the guitars will spend a year at The Nanson Club and travel into Singapore’s music community, where local guitarists will have the opportunity to play it and add to its story.

In 2027, the guitar will be auctioned at the EB Impact Charity Gala, raising funds for youth and education programmes.

One guitar. One year in Singapore. And a story that turns waste into something worth keeping.
