This site is intended as an introduction to my work at my Yorkshire workshop. I have over 30 years experience in designing and building guitars, as well as repairing and restoring instruments.
I do not have a standard catalogue or set range of instruments as I believe in building individual guitars for individual guitarists. One of the joys of having a guitar hand built is the selection of materials, the shapes, the curves, the feel and even the tone can be balanced to fit your needs.
You can look at some of my instruments and find out about materials and construction, my working history and contact me for further details on other pages in this site. Thank you for visiting.
New music page where you can listen to samples of my guitars being played.
The first sample is Steve Tilston, noodling around on a brand new baby OO (about 2 weeks old!). Steve will come back and record the same again in 6 months and a years time, so that you can hear how the instrument has developed. Samples by Gordon Tyrrall and Gary Boyle have also been added.
