1. wilkat
Wilkat Guitars was created by self-taught luthier and guitarist Bill Wilkat. Having started playing guitar and bass at the age of 12, Bill found that changing playing styles and evolving as a guitarist left him dissatisfied with many of the commercially available instruments. Inspired by the accomplishments of industry pioneers such as Leo Fender (see notes below), Bill realized and felt that more could be done. Minor innovations can make a world of difference to a musical instrument and to the musician's enjoyment of playing, thus providing greater inspiration. Among his goals was to design and create custom built instruments that were unique and yet affordable. Instruments built for musicians, by musicians, with passion, and care, and with the desire to always seek something better. Check out the special features on Wilkat Guitars, like the neck-to-body joint with it's palm-fit contoured heel -- it feels like your playing a neck-through-body style guitar, adding comfort, and great looks too!
Bill's career began in architecture, and after almost 10 years he found that designing buildings lacked the challenges and personal fulfillment he needed. He then turned his talents to mechanical design which he did successfully for 22 years. His education included electrical engineering, mechanical design, computers, and of course the art of lutherie, which he learned in his spare time. Throughout this time Bill never stopped playing and fiddling with guitars, and in 1997 he continued to further his skills by turning his passion towards building the instruments he loves. Upon the urging of many close friends and fellow musicians, he launched Wilkat Guitars in 2001.

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. ...

Shergold Guitars: "The Shergold set-up is aggressively British. The Company was established by two craftsmen, experts in their respective fields who were to an extent frustrated by building a wide variety of guitars under trade names. They decided, in popular jargon, to do their own thing...to make instruments which would embody the results of their comprehensive experience...to prove that "Britain can make it" and at a price which will benefit the consumer."
