Maybury Guitars are a celebration of wood, tone and nostalgia !

We are a predominantly commission based business, building one off custom guitars for our customers.

Collaboration is at the heart of what we do, we work closely with the customer from start to finish to make sure that they get the instrument that they are looking for. This includes photos during the build process, and consultation on any decisions that need their input during the build.

The guitars are typically based around Maybury’s own take on classic designs, with our Fish Hook T-Type and S-Type, the Suguaro Double Cut and the Cholla Offset. The customer is able to specify woods, solid or semi hollow body, pickups, scale length etc. This means that no two guitars are ever the same.

If however, you want a guitar built around another design such as a Tele, Strat or Les Paul, this is also possible, however there is always a Maybury twist to make it unique.

A solid body guitar starts at £1200 and a Semi hollow, £1800 for a standard guitar, obviously these prices increase if figured or exotic woods, binding, bespoke pickups etc are chosen. However there are no hidden charges and you will receive a quote before any work commences.

Each guitar takes between 5 to 20 days of work to build and setup, typically spread across a 6 to 12 week build period, with some finishes such as Nitrocellulose taking up to 8 weeks to apply and cure.

During the build process the customer is actively encouraged to engage through out, as that’s all part of the Maybury experience.

The first Maybury Guitar

This is the first guitar that was made for my son, “The Maybury Arrow”.

It has a solid body made from a reclaimed oak worktop, a 25.5” scale length, 59 Alnico V Humbuckers, a bolt on neck and a wrap around bridge.

Even though it is full scale, it is considerably shorter than most modern electrics making it a very portable guitar.

It’s a guitar with a uniquely bright but full tone from the oak and Alnico Vs
