Suppliers of Tonewoods forLuthiers UK Based and Guitars repairs.
We are a family company that has been trading in Luthiers supplies in the UK for many years, dealing mainly in the wholesale market. about 16 years ago we finally decided to offer our Tonewood stocks directly to Luthiers & guitar repair supplies uk
At that time our name may have be unfamiliar in the world of luthier supplies, aside from the other UK Tonewood stockists & Luthiers Supplies,the larger guitar factories,and guitar shops with a thriving repair department, despite this our tonewoods would have probably found their way onto many of the Instruments that had left your workshop during those years.
Now, we are delighted to say that our retail profile has risen hugely around the world.
We continue to supply the Trade as well as professional and amateur luthiers & Repairs!
Over many years of importing hardwoods for tonewoods and our inlay banding company, we have built up an extensive network of contacts around the world, and are able to secure some of the finest Tonewoods for Luthiers, much of which is cut in house.
So whether you are a master luthier, or a guitarist, wishing to build or repair your own guitar, we can offer you some of the finest ACOUSTIC, CLASSICAL AND ELECTRIC TONEWOODS available today.
