Tomson Guitars, Guitar Maker, Guitar Luthier, Stringed Instrument Repairer, Wigan, UK

Tomson Guitars was established in 1987, so at the time of writing this I am celebrating 24 years in the guitar repairs and luthier business.

I was originally an engineer in the aerospace industry, and also a guitarist. Being unable to find "just the right guitar for me" being an engineer I took the next obvious step of making my own guitar.

This guitar drew a lot of interest on gigs so I decided to apply my skills to something I loved and adored - making guitars. A good mate offered me some space in his upholstery shop and I was on my way.

I started trading in January 1987 in Southport, Lancashire - but after a couple of years it became apparent that more space was needed and I moved to Eckersley Mill, Wigan in January 1990.

I have since moved to my present location on Clayton Street in Wigan where I now trade.

The website designer asked me to recall some of the great names in music who either play my guitars or have had them repaired by me - I am working on this list so stay tuned!
