Overview

Michael Gee, inspired to craft Spanish guitars at age 11 after watching a film on guitar making, pursued his passion fervently. In 1974, he achieved the distinction of being the youngest student accepted into the full-time Instrument Making Course at the London College of Furniture. There, he trained under the esteemed Herbert Schwarz, eventually returning as a tutor to shape future guitar craftsmen. Setting up his maiden workshop in Nether Heyford in 1977, Michael quickly garnered attention and collaboration opportunities with figures like Richard Cobby and esteemed Luthier Martin Fleeson. Following his marriage to Andrea in 1981, he relocated his workshop to Earls Barton. Over the decades, Michael's impeccable craftsmanship led to global recognition, with over 600 guitars crafted in his Earls Barton workshop, each beloved by many illustrious players across the globe.

  • Classical Guitars

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
