Willis Guitars - Quality hand crafted acoustic guitars based in Sussex Willis Guitars

Classical guitars

Classical guitars are available as both left or right handed, with a full choice of timbers for the body, top plate, fret board and neck.

Soundboard

Soundboard strutting is made of select spruce and is based on the ideas and concepts of the great Spanish designer and builder Antonio De Torres.

Dimensions

The scale length, body size, body shape and neck width, are all made to measure to suit the playing style of the owner.

The playability and feel of the neck is adjusted to the customers playing style during the final stages of construction.

Finishes

Finishes available are Nitro Cellulose Lacquer as standard and Blonde Shellac French polish at an additional cost. Soon I hope to be able to offer water-based lacquer as the standard finish.

Strings

Strings are to the customer's choice.

Tuning

I recommend the Gilbert Machine Tuners for their positive feel, adjustability for wear and their superb looks.

Case

Each guitar comes with a hard case as standard with flight cases as an option at a slight additional cost.
