Welcome to the Bedlam Guitar website
The instruments shown here are examples of the hand-built guitars available from Bedlam Guitars.
Originally based in a spare bedroom in Scotland, we are in the process of constructing a purpose-built workshop in Oxfordshire. Work on the first guitars from the new premises should begin in late Autumn.
Electric guitars and basses are available in a wide range of body shapes, timbers and scale lengths. The hardware and pickup options are almost limitless, and only the best components and timbers are used.
The timbers and pickups are carefully selected to offer the ultimate in tone, and the neck shaping is all done by hand to make the instruments incredibly comfortable to play. Exotic wood facings and fingerboards are available to make every instrument unique ...

Stephen Holst Stringed Instruments: archtops, mandolins.
Like many luthiers, I spent quite a bit of time involved with repair and restoration work early in my career. These experiences were invaluable in helping me understand the complex variables involved with instrument construction and have influenced my work deeply. Wonderful older Gibsons, Epiphones, and D'Angelicos were available for close scrutiny and evaluation through this process. In the early nineties, as orders for my instruments increased, I decided to limit the repair work I did to Holst instruments and other interesting projects. Currently I make between 8 and 10 guitars and mandolins per year in my shop in Oregon's beautiful Willamette Valley.
By working full time by myself I am able to meticulously construct each instrument on an individual basis. This approach allows me to focus on extremely specific variables, controlling them to complement the finished piece and the customer's need for tonality and responsiveness. The result is a truly custom instrument.
Each guitar and mandolin I make reflects the specific needs and wishes of its owner. This manifests itself in the form of custom neck widths and shapes, special finish colors, choice of scale lengths and fingerboard radius, unique and personal inlay designs, and above all, the appropriate response, tone, and feel that is desired. I am also always open to discussing unusual projects such as custom body shapes, custom visual themes, and multi-string instruments ...
