Having had shops in London and New York City, I am now settled in the San Francisco Bay Area with my family.  I hope to carry on where I left off making high-quality acoustic and electric instruments for musicians and collectors. 

Rather than confining myself to one or two models, I enjoy designing and making many different styles, from classical to electric, steel string and jazz.  I was very fortunate to study under some exceptional luthiers, including Jonny Kinkead in Bristol, England, and Michael Gee and Herbert Schwartz at the London College of Furniture. 

I have designed and built guitars for numerous players including Paul Gregory, Richard Chapman, The Veldt, and The Cocteau Twins. I’ve also I look forward to having the chance to do the same for you. 

Cheers,
Russell
