Project Management

Lacking in technical guitar production or luthier skills doesn’t mean that you lack in ambition or creativity – sometimes we all need a helping hand or the guidance of a professional to allow our creativity to truly thrive. Our team offers you the opportunity to have your custom guitar project, from the simplest production of a good, solid guitar to an in-depth recreation of a custom made classic, overseen and constructed from start to finish by a team, dedicated to producing the very best guitar from your supplied components.
You may have a body and neck that you want brought together, ready to fit a host of new equipment to, or you may even have a box full of components that you have pain-stakingly collected over a long period of time, ready to have that custom guitar made to your own specifications. In either case, we are happy to professionally oversee the production of your own project and ensure that every detail is brought together to highest standards, making sure that every component is aligned, set-up and finished to provide you with a top-quality instrument.

Building a guitar from scratch is no easy task, if you have a problem with any aspect of your build and need a helping hand or you simply want the reassurance of knowing that a professional team is overseeing your project – entrusted to produce a playable, high-quality instrument, then contact us today for a quotation.
