Leddington Guitars

Leddington Guitars is the bespoke workshop of luthier Gary Leddington, handcrafting custom guitars, cases, boutique picks and repair work from Bath, UK. Gary’s path into luthiery combines practical craftsmanship with a finely tuned musical sensibility: having studied stringed-instrument building at the Centre for Musical Instrument Building in Puurs, Belgium, he returns that tradition to his own practice in England.

In his work, Gary emphasises tonewood expression, material balance, and a quietly refined aesthetic. Instruments from Leddington reflect a blend of structural integrity and nuanced response, shaped through attentive handwork rather than assembly-line replication. His background in fine art and instrument construction informs a distinctive design language — one that privileges clarity of sound and thoughtful ergonomics.

Whether crafting a custom guitar from scratch or restoring and refining an existing instrument, Gary approaches each project with a clear commitment to individuality and playability. The result is a suite of instruments that feel immediate under the fingers and expressive in performance.
