“Every Instrument Has A Story….”

I am a working player, and like most working players I know that having the best tools, kept in the best possible condition, is key to always turning in a good performance.

That’s why I started building my own instruments, because I was having to bend the tools I owned to the shape I wanted for live work - why not just build the one I needed?

Now I build instruments for all kinds of musicians, guitars, basses and other stringed instruments.

On top of that I take the same approach to making Pickups, and repairing and customising customer instruments.

When I was a kid in the 80’s, good guitars were almost unobtanium - unless you had serious cash. That’s why I learned to work on my guitars, because that was the route to reliability!

That has changed, even budget guitars are often much better than anything I had access to in my youth. That’s great news!

But at the same time, something got lost. Personal service. The internet age has widened our access to everything, but has removed the personal service that I got from great music shops in the last century. All that ready expertise, where I learned a lot about instruments and value, lost to the changes in the industry.

So that’s why I’m here - to return some of the service that I was extended when I was younger.

Why are you here?
Because there are things you need you can’t just buy from the internet.
