Something new is on the way to SL Guitar Works! A new brand is coming. We are keeping the finer details under wraps for now, but the tease is real, and the update is worth watching for. There's a small hint in the image. Keep an eye on our socials for updates.

We’ve made a small change to our opening hours our guitar shop is now closed on Mondays. Mondays will give us some valuable time behind the scenes in the workshop, where we can focus on building new guitars, catch up on paperwork and admin, and give the shop a proper reset ready for the week ahead.

Changing guitar strings is one of those jobs that's very easy to put off. We've all done it. You tell yourself you'll do them next weekend, and before you know it, months have gone by. Because strings wear out gradually, you don't really notice the change. The sound loses a bit of brightness, tuning isn't quite as stable, and they just don't feel as nice under your fingers. It happens so slowly that you simply get used to it. A lot of that comes down to what builds up on the

This Saturday I'll be exhibiting at the Brighton Guitar Show & FX Expo, and I'll have a selection of my custom-built guitars on display for visitors to see and try.

Counterfeit packaging often looks almost identical to the genuine article, but there are usually small clues. Look for: Poor print quality. Misspelled words. Colours that don't quite match the manufacturer's packaging. Thin or poorly glued packaging. Missing security seals or holograms where applicable.

Go from anywhere between gnarly overdrive and crystal clear cleans with the turn of a dial. The London 12 is super portable and also features phone-pairing capability to help you become the life of the party or the jam room

The past month or so has been busy beyond belief. Setting up a guitar shop, working on customer commissions, doing my day job, and fitting in family life has certainly been a juggle. Amongst all of this, I have happily carved out time to collaborate on a custom guitar for an extra special client, one who knows exactly what he wants. The young client and craftsman in question is my youngest son. He's just turned 11 and wanted one of my guitars in time for his birthday. It's be

We're thrilled to announce that SL Guitar Works is now open! The past few weeks has been so hectic but also incredibly exciting. It's hard to describe the feeling of opening up your own shop for the very first time. There are so many things to consider and so many new skills to learn from Quickbooks, to 3D printing, sign design, website building, the list goes on and on. What a learning curve! It will certainly be an evolution. More stock is coming in throughout the next f

On Monday, I had the privilege of sitting down for a fantastic conversation with Joe from Hello Sailor Effects, alongside Martin from Crazed Fandango . If you missed it, you can catch up here: It was one of those conversations that just flowed, full of shared passion and enthusiasm for all things guitar. We covered a lot of ground, from my own journey to becoming a luthier to what really makes a great guitar. It reinforced something I strongly believe, great instruments are

Meet Abby. Abby was originally conceived because the owner wanted to explore the depths of lower tunings that a baritone guitar can offer but there was not a guitar available that could offer him what he wanted. So the process began... Abby has been designed and sculpted to the owners desires. A true collaboration of different skills and talents. Credit for the designs of Abby's amazing inlay, body shape and headstock goes to @elesriil.ink. The inlay work itself was done by t

Norwich's Boutique Guitar Show Just a quick note to say that I will be exhibiting alongside a group of incredibly talented builders at the highly anticipated Fret Fest taking place in June. This event promises to be a fantastic opportunity for enthusiasts and professionals alike to come together and celebrate the art of craftsmanship in a vibrant atmosphere.

Today is all about getting everything ready for the London Guitar Show tomorrow. The house is a mess with guitars everywhere, but that’s how it usually goes the day before a big show. I’ll been checking over each instrument, giving them a final tune-up, and packing up the display rigging so everything’s ready to roll first thing in the morning. It's a very long drive from here in Yorkshire to London so I like to make sure I'm well prepared the day before. While I’m sorting
