Design

When ordering a West Valley we enter into a creative and collaborative process. My guitars are fully customisable, from binding to chambering, fretwire to scale length, colour, hardware, pickups and timbers. But don’t be overwhelmed! I will guide you through these choices to help you create an instrument that suits your style and represents you as a player .

  • Side view of a guitar resting against an amplifier with wood floor background

    Body

    Ergonomically, West Valley bodies are based on Fenders timeless design. However, the body is chambered and 4mm thinner than a standard Tele, making it feel both familiar and beautifully light.

    NECK

    My necks are hand carved, giving total control over your preferred profile. The timber is either quarter-sawn or re-enforced with carbon fibre rods ensuring incredible strength and stability.

  • Close-up of an electric guitar bridge and pickup with gold and chrome finish, featuring strings and a modern design.

    PICKUPS

    This is the most sonically important part of the guitar. As such I use only the finest pickups and luckily the UK has some wonderful boutique makers. I also offer custom wound West Valley pickups.

    HARDWARE

    Hardware choice is vital for stable tuning, rock solid intonation, great sustain and of course a unique style. Because of this, I only install hardware of the highest quality on my electric guitars.

    FINISH

    Guitars are tools and personal statements. Bold colours and stylish hardware give a stage worthy front end whilst the back showcases the beauty and function of the timbers; oil/wax finished for burnished comfort over time.

  • Stacks of wooden planks arranged closely together in a lumber yard.

    TIMBERS

    Sustainability is extremely important to me. I source timber from responsible FSC regulated suppliers. I also live near some fantastic small scale sawmills who supply me with beautiful local timbers.
