A Custom Made Guitar That Will Set You Apart From All The Rest!
My name is John iliou (a lot of vowels) and I am a twenty-something year old guitar maker. I have been playing the guitar since
the age of 15 and have always loved rock music. I started making guitars as a hobby and as each guitar was completed, I realized
that my guitars sounded just as good, if not better than the overpriced brand-name guitars. My mission was to study all of the brand name guitars, inside and out, and create a better guitar ...

Royal and Chilcott Custom Guitars Homepageguitar-maker,
Kevin Chilcott was apprentice to one of the luminaries of British Guitar making - Chris Eccleshall. After leaving his apprenticeship to become a Professional Luthier - between 1981 and 1989 it is estimated he "made by hand"(*) over 125 custom built guitars - Acoustic, Semi-Acoustic & Electric including 12 Thru-Neck Electric Basses. This averages over 15 guitars per year for the period, but
the first few years were very 'lean' as you would expect from a small new business, however over 40 were hand-built in the last 12 months of production between 1988 & 1989.
In 1982 he exhibited his guitars for the first time - This was at the First British Guitar Show, held at The Royal Festival Hall in London, England. ...

My first priority in making a guitar is making sure that it is mechanically sound. My background is in engineering, and I share my new designs with my friend, engineer and mechanical simulation guru, Le Phan, who then "builds" the guitar using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software. We can "ask" the computer to calculate certain physical aspects of the design such as the weight and center of gravity. The computer shows where and how much the neck will bend under string tension. Care should be taken to insure that the neck on your guitar is right for you. Listen to your body on this one. Your music will be better for it. Many guitars seem to have been designed for looks first with comfort coming in a distant second. But a guitar should almost melt into the musician’s body while being played, and this should be true regardless of playing position. The player’s discomfort takes something away from the music ...
