Handmade acoustic guitars, crafted to your vision

Work Directly With Our Luthier, Rosie

Whether you come to us with detailed plans or simply a desire for something extraordinary, Rosie will guide you through each stage of creating your custom acoustic guitar. Some clients arrive with precise requirements; others seek expert input to discover the perfect combination of sound, style, and visual appeal.

A Collaborative Process

Together, we’ll design a handmade acoustic guitar that feels both personal and inspiring. You’ll choose from a curated palette of tonewoods, including rare English-grown species, while exploring options for finish, rosette design, inlays, neck profile, and other fine details.

A process that's transparent and reassuring

From reserving your build slot, through collaborative design and regular photo updates, to final setup and delivery. Every custom acoustic guitar is built to order, with every detail shaped by your input and our expertise.
