About KAVANAGH CUSTOMS

lu·thi·er: noun
"A craftsman who builds or repairs stringed instruments (such as lutes, guitars or violins)"

We are a well-established guitar workshop based to the North of Greater Manchester in the UK. After many years of playing and servicing "high quality" guitars such as Fender® and Gibson® we grew tired of the inconsistent and the often all-too-poor quality of these manufacturer's instruments and turned to building our own replacement parts.

Because we are only very, very small, every customer receives an absolute personalised service. We have provided guitars to some well-known faces and provided parts to some of the finest instrument builders in the business and pride ourselves in our expertise and customer service.

We like to think that were are one of the leading luthiers and suppliers of aftermarket and replacement guitar parts in the UK: we build all of our own guitars and parts on-premises, here in the UK and also supply a number of other custom guitar builder and shops here and abroad. We don't run a factory and we don't cut corners to save money. What we do is focus on creating the highest quality parts possible without exception and have a loyal following of customers who come back time and again.

We also do what we can to help the environment: all our timber comes from sustainable sources to avoid any more damage being caused to the environment and forests, something which very few other manufacturers even take into account. See our ethics page for more information.
