BBT Guitars
"Your instrument is not merely a ‘tool’. It's a conduit for YOUR musical voice, a partner in crime that should be able to give you all you want and need to deliver your musical vision."
Over the past 20+ years, I have been a professional technician, gigging musician, tone chaser, and an all-round guitar fanatic.
It became clear to me early on as both a musician and a tech, the trials and technical nightmares that a poorly setup guitar can cause, so I’ve spent years perfecting my skills to ensure both my own guitars and the guitars of musicians I’ve worked with on the road, work in the best way possible for them.
My love for this badass instrument which has bought me so much pleasure, has now led me to build a business that helps other musicians unlock the full potential of their axes.
I’ve worked on countless guitars over the years, from classic vintage hollow bodies to modern single cuts, from extended-range metal machines to well-loved electro-acoustics, ukuleles, mandolins and everything in between. Whether it’s quick repairs, full setups, adjustments, new pick-ups, or anything else - I’ve tackled it. I also hand-build guitars and necks, you can read more about that here.
My approach is born from the notion that each instrument should be set to the exact preference of the player, and offer tailored playability, tone, and unmatched stability. Put simply… I bloody love the guitar and I want everybody to love theirs and share the same passion, without any limitations!
