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.

To help you get a feel for my work you can find out about my pricing structure and 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.

You can listen to my guitars being played on the samples page.

Players include Steve Tilston, Gordon Tyrrall and Gary Boyle and the latest samples added are of Roger Higgins trying out a newly finished 000.

Steve Tilston is playing his prophetic song" Pretty Penny" on a 000 on youtube here. You can also see him playing Davyji (a salute to Davy Graham) and Devil May Care

Thank you for visiting.
