Welcome to the website of Nick Benjamin, acoustic guitar maker.
Lewes, East Sussex, England, UK.
Luthier Nick Benjamin produces small numbers of high quality
handmade steel string acoustic guitars.
All the guitars are made in his small one person workshop and sold direct
to provide an individual
and personal instrument designed with simple beauty in mind and tone and playability
foremost.
Nick Benjamin's guitars have been used professionally by many musicians including;
Eric Roche, Newton Faulkner, Ray Davies, Mike Dawes, Ryan Keen, Kaki King,
Thomas Leeb,
Clive Carroll, Richard Durrant, Nick Pynn, Phillippe
Barnes, Stuart Ryan, Tab Hunter and Alex Kabasser.
Nick also carries out pickup fitting for acoustic guitars when time allows,
specializing mainly in LR Baggs and K&K systems.
As of March 2013, my waiting list is closed in order to allow me to concentrate
on the many existing orders I have taken recently. I am still happy to talk
to
potential future customers but I will not be taking any more deposits until
my waiting list is down to a more manageable level, hopefully in a year
or two's time.
Day-to-day Benjamin Guitars news, thoughts and related events will now be posted on Facebook.
