Individually built electric guitars, handmade in the UK.
No myths. No magic. Just handmade electric guitars that feel right.
Unique electric guitars – built by hand from premium and reclaimed materials. Original hardware, sourced in UK where possible. These guitars are the closest to 100% UK built that you are likely to find.
Nottingham City Guitars is primarily an instrument workshop, specialising in hand-building original NCG Guitars.
NCG Guitars are individual designs, based on a common bespoke footprint and 25.5” scale length. Each NCG guitar is unique, being hand-carved, sanded and machined. No two are ever exactly the same.
Had cobbled together a bunch of parts to build a guitar but didn’t have the tools or knowledge to put it all together into a great guitar. Andy was great, and much faster than I had expected, and now I have a new fave Strat! Excellent service, would recommend.

Wow, very original guitars! They all sound great!! Cheers to Andy, his work and his shop!
Superb shop – unpretentious and friendly. I bought my 335, a Cornell amp, a Mayson acoustic with Marshall amp and numerous pedals from Andy, who has a wealth of knowledge and is always helpful.

After a week of playing the Mule I have to say that you have done a fantastic job. It looks, plays and sounds superb. In fact it is so good that that I would like to buy it 😎

The Bayou is superb – fantastic – even better than I remember – and I remember an absolutely terrific guitar! She plays beautifully and sounds great even with my little pedal board amp. Looking forward to getting it out to rehearsals and an open mic we have soon! Thanks again. I will be watching your new builds with great interest!
