Leddington Guitars is my small one-man workshop based in the historic city of Bath, United Kingdom. I specialise in custom hand-built guitars, cases, boutique picks, and repair work.

                                                    Originally from Worcestershire, I moved to Antwerp,                                                                 Belgium in 2010, where I quickly found myself co-founding                                                       a local bluegrass group or two while studying at the world-                                                      renowned CMB (Center for Musical Instrument Building) in                                                       Puurs. Through this headlong immersion into acoustic                                                              music and woodworking - combined with my background                                                        in Fine Arts - my sense of the visual and the aural became                                                        inseparably intertwined.

                                                    Many instruments later, I returned to my native UK and                                                              developed a sonic sensibility focused on producing                                                                   balanced and responsive guitars, with particular emphasis                                                       on how they play and feel. These instruments are built by a player, for players.

Beyond their primary acoustic function, I maintain a strong yet minimal visual aesthetic, often favouring simple straight lines, uncomplicated appointments, and classically balanced forms. This approach allows the wood - often dazzling enough on its own - to speak for itself, both visually and sonically.

My passion is to create hand-built

instruments that honour the American

tradition of luthiery while introducing a

modern look and feel through custom

designs and ideas.Whether you are

looking for a bold, wild-looking

dreadnought or a sweet-sounding

00 with custom inlays designed by

your artist friend, you’ve come to the

right place.
