My Background
I trained as a luthier at the Totnes School of Guitar-Making in Devon, under the expert guidance of Phil Messer. I now design and make classical and flamenco guitars at my workshop in West Cornwall.
I love what I do and am committed to producing instruments of the highest quality, in sound and playability, in looks and in build-quality and finish. My designs are informed by the work of established master-builders but have evolved as a result of my own experience and research. My instruments are entirely hand-made with only a minimal use of power tools and each one takes between three and five months to complete.
All my guitars are unique (and no two rosettes are alike) and are built from the highest quality materials.
I am happy to accept commissions - I really enjoy working with customers both during and after the build to ensure that the instrument is perfectly suited to playing needs and preferences. I also have a few instruments in stock which are available to try-out, to buy or to use as a starting point for discussion about a custom-made guitar.
As well as selling instruments in the UK, I am able to arrange sales and shipping worldwide. Please contact me for details.
