​

The Workshop Experience

​

Our open workshop gives you the chance to see repairs and setups being carried out in real time, offering transparency, trust, and a closer look at the craft behind the instrument. Bring your guitar in for anything from a quick restring to a full setup, or just stop by for advice, we’re always happy to help.

​

Boutique Independent British Guitars & Accessories

​

The boutique side of the shop grew from a simple idea: to bring together some of the UK’s finest independent builders in one place. By supporting the guitar-building community and working directly with makers, we’re able to offer a unique selection of hand-built instruments, giving players the chance to try and compare them without travelling the length and breadth of the country. Alongside our guitars, we also showcase a carefully curated range of accessories and gear from independent makers, including effects pedals, amplifiers, guitar straps, and other thoughtfully crafted pieces that share the same dedication to quality and individuality.
