Welcome to
KKS HANDMADE GUITARS
Where I'm passionate about creating high-quality, handmade guitars for musicians of all levels. My business is dedicated to the art of guitar making & repairs which is based in the city of Derby, England.
Designing Guitars, below is the way I taught myself to design them and still do it the same way.
This is one of the first of the 'Zakk Wylde' production runs I'm this Bullseye in Camouflage green's.
My job was to repair the electrics and redress and then crown the Frets and buff them into a smooth effect for bending the strings against.
I always clean the Fretboard for free when doing this kind of job.
1965 Fender Telecaster pre-CBS, came in for a new Fretboard after a different luthier had taken off too much of the original one, so I had to find a original one that still had plenty of life in it.
But it's a Compound neck that has a different radius at each end which makes it incredibly hard to shape the underside of the replacement, and then it had to be reFretted with jumbo Frets.
This is a Cigar Box Guitar that I've recently built for the first time, this one is not like other ones as I have put 6 strings instead of 3, and made it completely Electric by adding a Humbucker Pick-up.
This a Pre-Amp I've just finished building out of a large plastic PP9 battery, with Vol & Tone & Input Jack & Output Jack, I can make them out of anything if you're interested in buying one.
This an ongoing repair job on a Harmony Acoustic Guitar that someone has put super glue on one side of the body, & also the Frets were worn down & the fretboard needed cleaning
This is the 2nd handmade guitar I built from scratch for a specific client roughly 9 years ago, & is still in my top of Telecasters I've built.
This is the 4th Handmade Guitar that I built from scratch, I decided to find out if I had a real chance of working in this industry as a professional Luthier.
This is built to the same brief as the twin neck Gibson that Jimmy Page uses which was a wiring nightmare, I also built it so that both necks would taper out from the body of the Guitar giving more room especially at the headstock end of the necks which gives more room for tuning the machine headstock.
This is a complete rebuild from an 'Ibanez Gio~GAX-30' that came to me in the most pathetic Cndtn, after a bare wood respray & full hardware restoration.
Each guitar we create is crafted with precision and care, using only the finest materials. Our skilled artisan pours his years of expertise and love for music into every instrument they make, ensuring that each guitar is a true work of art.
