The Guitarists Who Play My Guitars

Over the years it has been one of the great pleasures in guitar making to see and hear the guitars being played professionally by dedicated musicians

Anne Chaurand

French guitarist Anne Chaurand was the first professional musician to take up one of my guitars buying a cedar top back in 2003. Since that she has gone on to own a 2019 ES cedar which she is playing in the above video. Anne also owns a RE spruce from 2024.

Mark Anthony McGrath

Mark Anthonu McGrath from Southern Ireland here playing his sitka spruce Jazz Classical. This is Mark's second guitar from myself and was very much designed to his particular needs.

Matthew McAllister

Matthew is perhaps my most prolific player and has toured the world playing my guitars. Here he is playing a ES spruce with Indian rosewood. He played this from 2010 until 2019.

In 2019 Matthew commissioned a RE cedar with Indian rosewood, played in the above video.

When visiting the new workshop in early 2025 I gave him this cedar/cocobolo guitar to try and he was so taken with it that he has played it ever since.

Salty Guitars - Yvonne Zenher & Christina Schorn-Mancinelli

In 2025 during the St Andrews Classical Guitar Retreat I had the pleasure of lending Yvonne and Christina a guitar each for their concert, they were so taken by these instruments that they kept them. Both guitars being played here are RE Cedar with Indian rosewood.
