What a pleasure to know your work and that you're a bit closer. Hope to visit your workshop some ocasion soon. Greetings from o Porto. Bem-vindos!
Gorgeous work.
I appreciate your esthetic and the wide variety of materials and influences. The creativity here is really inspiring. Thank you.
Hey Andy, How is the warm weather treating you? Hope all is good, and you are keeping busy over there? Just to let you know I trusted my Bouzouki to a local guy over here last Tues to do a small job on my frets. They, in places were starting to show signs of over two years of playing, but I did not need to replace any, just a light file did the job. And I have to say Quentin did a real tidy job on it too. As always its sounds just great. I cant take it out of the case without people saying how nice it is and asking who made it! Nice to see the pics are still on your website too. Best wishes, Seanie.
Hello Andy, Regards from NYC. I admire the ¾ guitar you designed for Ian Anderson – a fair plucker with some potential (he’s excellent and I of course am kidding). I have a progressive disability and have had to give up on the big dreadnoughts – I have a Gibson, Martin and Guild….I currently play a seagull parlor – amazingly efficient - it serves my purpose with it’s weight and user friendly neck. So here’s the loaded question – do you still sell that remarkable ¾ anymore and for how much. If not and/or the price is prohibitive – which I have to assume is the case – could you be kind enough to share your expertise by identifying anything out there – i.e. martin backpacker, Washburn Rover etc…that you believe could be modified and once amplified produce a similar result - of course of much inferior quality but sufficient to gig with. You are an amazingly talented man and I admire your ability….please stay healthy – I wish you Ian’s long song. Kindest regards, Aron
Have seen the pictures Seth posted at SMG. Very beautiful guitars I must say! I really love the lap steel, it must sound awesome!
Your guitar's ROCK. I am a photographer that specializes in Guitar Photography. I just photographed the 3/4 size Parlor Guitar you made for Ian Anderson. Beautiful. Would love to send you some pix. Best Regards, Lisa Johnson www.CelebrityGuitars.com
Hi Andy, From our chance meeting in "Arkwrights" I have browsed your website and am very impressed with your work. As you know I am a fan of George Lowden and therefore look forward to visiting you soon. As we are neighbours, I will bring the customary Garaffa of wine to help the day along. Best wishes for the future!
hi andy nice looking new web site and your new workshop good to see the john paul jones collection on line happy guitar making! jonathan
So glad you are enjoying Portugal. Cross the border for a visit to Extremadura one day and listen to some music by our local folklore group. They'd love your guitars!
Hi Andy. Congratulations for your wonderful work. I got interested recently in learning luthierie and found your site searching on google. Your instruments and technique are truly inspiring me. I am working in my first electric guitar and I would like to build acoustics instruments in the future. I´m from Brazil and if I have the opportunity to visit Portugal, I´ll try to visit your office if possible. By the way, how is your portuguese? Abraços, Fabiano
Great website and beautiful guitars!!

Welcome to the all new website,

 

We hope you enjoy it.

 

Things are busy in the workshop as ever.

 

I have just completed a very rewarding build of a parlour guitar for a customer based in California.

 

It is based on my own 1840 Louis Panormo but built for steel strings.

 

You can see photo's in the parlour section or the whole build on our facebook page.

 

 

I have also started work on a trip down memory lane.

 

1975 revisited.

 

I am building a new triple neck guitar based on the original Led Zeppelin guitar I built for John Paul Jones.

 

I really wanted to see how I would approach the project after all these years, with all the knowledge I have gained.

 

I am aiming to get the best possible acoustic performance from all three instruments.

 

It is a challenging, enjoyable build so far. You can follow the build process as it evolves on our facebook page.


 

 

Seth has just finished a beautiful new Baritone guitar for Jas Morris from Rude Tiger.

 

It features a light weight Swamp Ash body and Bare Knuckle pick ups.

 

The tone is astounding, the Ash adds a chiming quality to the treble, balanced perfectly with the bass provided by the long string length and drop tuning.

 

You can see more pictures here and you can check out Rude tiger using Seth's guitars here
