about

It all began with a video.
Martyn was watching the Zak Brown Band playing and one of the members was playing a beautiful handcrafted guitar.

Martyn knew straight away that he had found his new design project.

Something different, something that sounds, look and feels great.

Something individual, something custom.

 

Bio

I built my first guitar aged 14. It was a solid body and something I was very proud of at the time. After this, I moved on to an fhole acoustic.

By this time I was working as an apprentice “joiner and cabinetmaker”.

I have had several interests,  including the building of cedar strip kayaks and canoes, and making rocking horses. At the same time, however, I never lost the love of guitar building.

I have been making and repairing guitars for the last 30 years. 

Now my attentions have been drawn towards custom-made oyster and clam models. Each one different from the last—a piece of art.

FAQ

How long does it take to Build

Each guitar is built from scratch on request. They take a minimum of two months from start to completion. The actual time depends on the complexity of the motif design and finish options required.

Can I try before I buy

Yes, we expect it. If you are interested in one of our stock guitars, or if you have a bespoke build, we want you to pay us a visit and try our guitars to experience the playability and the sound quality.

Do you Deliver?

No. For a product of this type, we like to you come and 'test-drive' it before you complete the purchase. Therefore it is pickup only, from our workshop.

What Payments do You Accept

We accept BACS, cash or cheque as payment.
