My early involvement in Antique restoration and cabinet making has been a major influence in my 30-year career as a furniture designer.  This instilled an appreciation of high quality materials and craftsmanship, along with a recognition of how important proportion, balance and aesthetics are to creating beautiful furniture. This informed my passion for studying and making electric guitars which has been with me throughout my life. Along with my enthusiasm for japanese and far eastern art, this has been the inspiration behind Lindsay Wilson.

Unmistakably Lindsay Wilson...

A gradual evolution of body and neck shape have resulted in what I consider to be a beautiful balance of form and function - the Lindsay Wilson Guitar!

All my guitars, whether Bass or 6-String, use this signature body, headstock and scratch-plate design all available in a range of materials which can be discussed to suit your personal taste. Bodies are hand shaped from reclaimed timber, subject to availability, and include Cuban Mahogany, Honduras Mahogany, Pitch Pine, English Elm and Walnut as well as contemporary timbers including Brazilian Mahogany, Ash, Poplar and Maple.
All necks are available in either Maple or Birds-eye maple, with an Ebony Finger-board. Hand-veneered scratch-plates are available in Birds-eye Maple, Karelian Birch, Quilted Maple, Umbuya Pommelle Birch and Tiger-Stripe Birch and others too numerous to list are available on request. All timbers can be finished in either Satin, Gloss or Matt lacquer, Bleached and /or Limed finish depending on suitability, Oiled & Waxed and the full range of Farrow & Ball paint. Hardware is available in Chrome, Black or Gold with Pickups by Bareknuckle.

What is the best guitar in the world, is there such a beast? I have heard many guitarists say  ‘this is the best guitar in the world’ and to them, it is - it’s as simple as that. A guitar is a very personal thing, each one fulfilling different requirements. To build a guitar that encompasses every thing to every man is just not possible. Striking a balance between technical proficiency and aesthetics is the key. Next Page >>>
