Andy Powells Acoustic
Belonging to Andy Powell of Wishbone Ash this beautiful acoustic guitar has a flamed walnut body, cedar top and MOP Celtic inlay. A loud vibrant guitar with excellent string separation, a real favourite with Andy.

12st. Maple Jumbo
This big bodied 12-string, built for John Pearson, features an Abalone bound body and soundhole, gold hardware, a Bartolini magnetic pick-up and an EMG piezo pick-up. Big on looks and big on sound.

Birdseye Electric
This guitar is made with a Bird’s-eye maple neck, ebony fretboard and a bird’s-eye maple capped solid maple body.  It’s slightly thinner than normal to keep the weight down and EMG pick ups along with a vintage bridge help give that truly classic tone without the hum.

Cutaway acoustic
Solid rosewood back and sides coupled with a Swiss spruce top and ebony fretboard make this cutaway a first choice for finger pickers.

Headless Eye bass
"Solid maple thru-neck and a maple body with a thick bird’s-eye facing front and back give this bass plenty of punch and a massive sustain. oozes quality from every grain and winding." Roger Newell, Guitarist magazine.

Headless 5st. bass
Another variation on the headless design, this neat and compact bass features Bartolini pick-ups with a low C-string that really sings. The headless design holds superb tune and really helps the sustain. Great for jazz rockers and at a great price.

Headless Six string
This excellent 6-string headless guitar features a heavily carved, quilted maple top, Steinberger tremelo system and EMG pick-ups. Its massive sustain, super low action and small dimensions make it a real fast guitar.

MOP inlay work
This simple but striking scratchplate inlay helped to really personalise this well-loved Martin acoustic.

Kona/Weisenbourne guitar
This exquisite guitar is made with flamed walnut front, back and sides and has a bound ebony fretboard with exotic wood inlays. Based on original measurements from an early 1900s Kona, it has a surprisingly big sound for its size, with a smoothed-out neck joint that makes it eminently playable.

Seahorse acoustic guitar
A Gibson-style body married to a Martin-scale neck gives the best of both worlds with this great looking guitar. A Sitka spruce top and scalloped bracing help bring out its deep sonorous tone. The seahorse abalone inlays in the headstock were just what this customer ordered.

Sharkinfin rock guitar
Another custom guitar for a client who knew exactly what he wanted a Jackson-style body with modified Ibanez-feel neck and DiMarzio pick-ups. This rock musician's ideal guitar.

Triplate Resonator
This special, one-off guitar, made for slide, features a solid nickel-silver body made by Alan Timmins of FI Resophonic Instruments. It has a maple neck with a solid, engraved, sterling silver headstock overlay. The exquisite engraving and inlay work was all carried out in-house at KGB to the customer’s design. 

Symbol guitar headstock
One of our more unusual commissions. 

Symbol guitar headstock

Made for Dean Gibney of Twin Method, we didn't manage to get any decent photographs of this guitar before it was whisked away to be used during their Family Values Tour of the USA.
Unfortunately, despite many assurances, both Dean, and Shawn Barusch of Hollowpoint Management, have renaged on payment for this guitar.
So if you are planning any business dealings with them I would most certainly
think twice.
