CUSTOM BUILT CLASSICAL GUITARS & SALES

PLEASE CALL 07771 205 674 OR EMAIL

Welcome and thank you for visiting my website. I am a luthier and guitar player. I learnt to build and repair guitars by attending the Musical Instrument (guitar) building course at Merton College in London during the late ninties.

I operate out of my home based studio and workshop from where I make classical guitars to order and also have guitars for sale.

By Appointment Only.

Hand built custom concert guitars

My hand built guitars are based on traditional designs following the work of Torres and Hauser. I build using traditional Spanish methods and use only the best grade tone woods - dried and aged for at least 5 years. I offer 2 standard models:

Grand Concert: is a professional grade instrument of Indian rosewood and German spruce with handmade rosette, purfling and binding. I aim for a clear well balanced tone with bell like trebles and seek to gain good projection and brightness without compromising on tone. The guitar is finished with French polish (shellac).
£1,995

Concert: A guitar for the advanced student seeking a concert grade instrument at a budget price. In construction this guitar is exactly the same as the Grand Concert except that the more time consuming elements have been limited - so pre-made rosette and no decorative elements (purling/bindings) but still hand finished with French polish.
£1,250

The current waiting time for my hand built instruments is about 5 months.
