Dave King Acoustic Guitars

Dave King has been making guitars now for over 20 years. At the age of 9 he saw a picture of a parlour guitar on the cover of a Bert Jansch album and fell in love with them. Since that time Dave has designed and built not only “parlours” but also a wide range of guitars of exceptional quality.

All of Dave’s “Signature Model” guitars are unique; each instrument having something like 170 hours work in it. Attention to detail is meticulous. Along with this attention to detail comes a clear loud and evenly balanced sound, suited to all styles of guitar playing.

Construction methods and materials used are constantly being modernized and improved. Dave believes that there is always a better way of achieving an end result. Along with this, Dave has also made and repaired guitars for some of the UK’s greatest guitar players, as well as managing to lecture at the London Metropolitan University (formerly the London College of Furniture) in the art of Lutherie.
