Stookley Guitars:
My love affair with the Guitar dates back to my teen years when I received my first instrument a "Silvertone Electric" as a Xmas present and I have been enthralled with the instrument ever since. In later years I started designing and building custom guitars for individual clients as well as selling on the Internet under the banner of "Stukely Guitars". Over the years business has grown to the point where we have had to outsource some of our operations in order to keep up with demand and I am excited to showcase our newly designed Website, along with a new Company name "Stookley Guitars" and a revamped line of instruments. In the coming months we will be re-introducing a number of models including the Solo 1, Solo 2, X-Terminator, and the top of the line Soloist. Whatever your playing style, be it jazz, blues, country or rock I'm sure you will find a Stookley model just right for you and once you have played a Stookly you will settle for nothing less. Don't forget also to check our line of quality Guitars Parts to kickstart that special instrument project you have been puttimg off ...

As a child I had pretty much grown up in my Grandfather’s workshop, which was full of all kinds of wonderful and mysterious tools that he used to build or fix all kinds of things. Some people have begun playing an instrument at age 7. Me, I was building things! It was from him that I learned that if you couldn’t afford to buy it, then build it yourself, as he had built nearly every item of machinery in his workshop! I remember spending hours just playing with bits of wood & metal that my grandfather would help me fashion into a boat or plane etc. He was, you could say, my first mentor ...
