John Beckett began making guitars in the late 1990ies and now makes a range of steel strings guitars along with two classical model: a smaller bodied classical guitar and a slightly larger model, using both cedar and spruce soundboards. All woods used are master grade; the guitars have an understated beauty and are versatile in that they are suited to different musical styles – across the “classical” repertoire.
