Learn More About Lloyd

As someone who was more than happy with the instrument I used day in, day out for over 20 years, I didn’t think it was possible for another to challenge the position of my favourite guitar.
With innovative craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a nose for beautiful timbers, Lloyd managed to build a guitar that – by quietly dominating my latest record, both in writing and recording – even surprised me.
In fact, I liked it so much I had him make a second one as a special gift to a rather cool friend of mine, who I know loved his too.

Declan O'Rourke
Musician

His passion for Lutherie, his pedagogical approach and his patience helped me build the instrument of my dreams although I had no previous experience with woodwork.
Thank you, Lloyd, I’m looking forward to building the next one!

Eugene Windrim
Steel-string Guitar Course

There was always a willingness to get right into the details, meet my current curiosity and yet also step back when needed so I could learn for myself, a wise teacher indeed.
He offers a great set of skills and tools… makes a cracking cup of coffee too!
