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.
Great guy to deal with and top class guitar at a great price. Can’t wipe the smile off my face!

I just wanted to thank you again for the fantastic job you did on my Martin guitar. It looks as good as new(ish), which given the state you received it in is no mean feat!
Richard
So thank you.
The guitar arrived early on Monday morning. I have now had a chance to play it, I am absolutely blown away with the way it sounds, nothing like anything I have played before. I am very happy with it.

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 😎

I have been exploring your website after a fair amount of time. The guitar creations are fascinating, seemingly evolving creatively from your particularly chosen or evolved ‘components’ with a great deal of design flair, appreciation of hardware, and technical knowhow.

I’ve been keeping a close eye on NCG since meeting their fine luthier at a guitar show. And falling rather hard for a Bayou. Love Barrie’s playing and very fascinated by the blue guitar with the single P90 pickup. Cool placement.
Andy is very nice and very knowledgeable – he fitted a pickup to my old acoustic guitar on the same day and gave me some excellent advice. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him, especially if you know next to nothing about the technical side of guitars and amps. Great experience.

Wow, very original guitars! They all sound great!! Cheers to Andy, his work and his shop!
Hi Andy,
Richard
I have been watching your 'Making of' the Rock City Guitars videos avidly! I am absolutely impressed with the skill and craftmanship that has gone into these two guitars. I am glad one is mine!
So much impressed in fact that I'm thinking even more about the Bayou OMV in Vandalism Yellow that I saw when I called round the shop in November.
I loved this guitar and it has been on my mind ever since.
I've just watched the video where you said you might take it to auction. I'm just wondering if it has gone yet?
Looking forward to Rock City Part 3 and of course the actual guitar!
Thanks and best regards
