ABOUT ME

I'm Mike, a guitar builder with a passion for designing and creating beautiful, but functional guitars. Every one of my guitars is unique - designed and built for you! 

​

Building your guitar always begins with a conversation, which leads to me understanding your needs, your tonal requirements, and what you want from your guitar.  

​

Once we've planned and designed your Odessa, I'll turn the idea into the guitar you've dreamed of, using high-end hardware and materials.

The hardware I use includes Hipshot and Schaller bridges and tuners. CTS or Bourns pots. Stainless steel frets are standard, as are bone nuts. Pickup makers I use and recommend include: Lollar, Creamery, TV Jones and Fletcher pickups, but it's your choice. I finish my guitars with either a solid colour milk paint, or oil finish.  

Every single one of my guitars is crafted and finished with the same care and commitment, and I only ever work on them one at a time. 

​

So please feel free to drop me a line via the contact page and we can begin our conversation there.

Odessa Guitars are based in the UK, but my customers play all over the world.
