Could somebody please recommend me a good Guitar Luthier in the UK?

[A Call For Repentance]

Well I'm basically looking to have my own custom guitar made an wanted to know of any good guitar luthiers in the UK that can make me a guitar right down to the very last detail. Preferably someone i can throw ideas back and forth with over the next few months regarding what type of woods would be best, neck width/radius, etc.

Cheers :)

Feline Guitars & WezV on this very forum both have turned out some amazing looking instruments.

Do you know if they do custom guitars, right down to the customers very last detail?

[Philly Q]

They certainly do.

Thankyou very much. I was originally going to go with Legra, but they only do their own design of guitars now. Was also looking at Sims, but always better to look around first :)

Just sent a quote into Daemons? Anybody have experience with these?

[Philly Q]

If he doesn't see this thread, try a PM to Nolly.  He has at least two Daemoness guitars:

Yeah Nolly has at least a six and seven. The necks were a little thin around the first few frets for me personally, but they were fantastic feeling instruments, for sure.

legra's very nice (though i didn't know they'd stopped doing complete customs).

I got a stormshadow recently and it's very nice too

i hear great things about feline, wez, daemoness and the like but haven't tried them

C'mon now Dave, you know the rules, pics or it doesn't exist!  :P

I hadn't heard of Stormshadow until this very minute.

[dave_mc]

:lol:

I don't have any pics i've taken myself, but I have one which were taken by the stormshadow before i bought it



i'm getting a wee bit of buzz on a couple of the higher frets (though that might be my fault... you have to take the neck off to adjust the truss rod, and me being me and lazy i just figured i had it "close enough" :lol: ), but aside from that it's really nice.

They had a bunch of NOS models on ebay for decent prices and I couldn't resist.

EDIT: oh yeah, it's brighter than that in real life :lol: :D

That's a delightfully silly guitar.

I'm really GASing for a Siggery guitar right now. Too bad I'm in Canada  :(

WezV was absolutely fantastic when he made the Vociferator for me:

Absolutely completely and utterly recommended - every last detail was discussed, and Wez is a top bloke!

(PS I now have an aftermath in there, but the black dog was a great pickup for this axe too!)
