Thank you to my customer Simon Aspinall for fabulous this review and video:
"Steve is an exceptional independent guitar maker who truly brought my vision to life. From the start, his communication was fantastic—he listened to my ideas, contributed his own insights, and ensured every detail was carefully considered. The small special aesthetic touches during the build he added made the guitar feel personal and unique
Beyond the visuals, Steve addressed many of the design flaws typically found in the classic brands that inspired my build. The fretboard and stainless steel frets are outstanding, making bends and vibrato effortless—perfect for blues rock. The entire instrument feels like an extension of my playing style, exactly what I hoped for: an edgy blues rock machine.
If you're considering a new guitar, I’d recommend Steve over any major brand. He delivers custom-shop-level craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a flawless finish—all at a price comparable to mass-produced models. A truly top-tier experience from start to finish."
I’m absolutely thrilled to unveil my latest creation, a gorgeous purple guitar that’s turning heads with its dazzling copper scratch plate and pick-up rings! Featuring the incredible Old Bones pick-ups, this beauty will make it's debut at the Guitar Show in Birmingham on the 1st of March. Check out this sneak peek of it progress on my workbench! I can't wait you all to see it!
I thrive on turning my customers' dream guitars into reality. Recently, I had the pleasure of crafting a bespoke SG type guitar for a client who had a clear vision of the style and colour he desired. I added some unique touches, including custom-made Mother of Pearl volume knobs and a wooden scratch plate, to make it truly special. I hope he enjoys playing this guitar for many years to come!

Isaac has kindly written a glowing review of his SL custom built flying V. This was such a fun build for a young talented guitarist.
"I went to Pudsey Guitar Conventtion looking for a flying V guitar. The choice was very limited and then I came across SL Guitars. He had a very good choice of guitars but not a flying V. After speaking to him I arranged for him to build me one. I got to choose the wood, number of pick ups, colour and anything else I wanted. He also sent photos of the guitar as it was being built and I now hasve the guitar I imagined. So if you can't see the guitar of your dreams, send Steve a message and he'll make your dream come true"
Come and try our guitars at the Merseyside Guitar Show, Aintree Racecourse on Sunday 1st December. These shows always have a lovely Buzz about them with live music and lots of stalls.
Another great opportunity to come and try an SL Guitar and buy yourself or loved one the Christmas present of their dreams!
SL will be at the Northampton Classic Guitar show on 8th December.
