Welcome to Shaun
Newman Guitars – the
home
of fine quality, handmade classical guitars and other stringed
instruments.
As you will see from the pages behind this one, I primarily make concert classical guitars, but also make other stringed instruments such as renaissance harps, mandolins, hammered dulcimers and ukuleles.
For every
part of every instrument I use only the finest available woods. For
instrument backs and sides I use rosewood (Indian, Honduras and when
available Brazilian), cypress, maple, zebrano and by special request
ziricote. Most instrument fronts are master grade spruce (usually
Engelmann) but I also use finest quality cedar.
The site offers you a view of some of my instruments and the opportunity to hear some of my guitars. It also tells you how to contact me should you wish to consider a commission or to buy from stock. My workshop is based in mid Devon, England. Please see the 'Contact/Prices' page of this site for full details.
