Description
Nick Benjamin steelstring acoustic guitar maker, Lewes, UK.
Unlike the majority of 'handmade' guitars my instruments are genuinely made in small numbers, by hand, each unique and the majority built to order with a full consultation, to meet the customer's exact requirements for tone and feel. I work alone in a small workshop in the center of Lewes, a beautiful historic town in the southeast of England. Lewes is unusual in the world of guitar making in that a small 'community' of makers exists here; each working separately but supporting one another and sharing ideas ...

Gilles Mercier, Luthier: Conception et fabrication artisanale de guitares. Aix en Provence, France.
(...) Another experience, another vision, another conception : trained at the Mittenwald School of Luthiers, for a long time, Gilles Mercier, oscillated between the production of the instruments of the string quartet and the guitar.
He is now settled in Aix-en-Provence and makes only guitars. Recommended by musicians such as Dana Chivers, he is one of the few luthiers to use violonistic lutherie techniques. In particular, he works only with knife, plane and chisel, without machinery. The rosaces are black and white in accordance with violin filature technique, a neck/head V-joint lamination and French polish, in the purest tradition of the 19th century, are his unique marks.
He offers affordable concert models and more elaborated models in which, as in a epoch long past, "time doesn't count" ...
