Electric guitars were scarce goods in socialist Czechoslovakia. When guitars could not be bought abroad, they had to be made at home. RNDr. Jurkovic achieved to create high quality hand-made guitars by using a scientific approach.

Most of Jurkovič guitars ended up in the hands of Czech musicians, from  a bass player Vladimír “Guma” Kulhánek to Janek Ledecký. World guitarists such as Billy F Gibbons ZZ Top, Eric Clapton or Jeff Beck also enjoy playing guitars designed by Jurkovič together with Stephan Milkov.
