Handmade English Guitars

Fylde Guitars, led by Roger Bucknall hand make English guitars, mandolins, bouzoukis and citterns ~ in the Lake District.

Instruments made by Roger and his small team of master craftsmen, have an unrivalled worldwide reputation for tone, playability, quality and style. Chosen by many of the world's leading musicians and serious amateurs ~ for over forty-five years.

The number of instruments made is small, and they are only available directly from the workshop, (often with a long waiting list). A one to one relationship with the customer, whether they are professional or amateur, is the essence of the business.
