Hardware and Accessories 

Our hardware is sourced from manufacturers in the UK, Japan and Korea. We have tested hundreds of parts available throughout the industry to ensure the parts we incorporate in Fraser Guitars are of the highest quality and consistency. 

Pickups

Fraser Guitars have been winding pickups to vintage specification in-house since the start of operations.  Our pickups are individually hand-wound incorporating the finest and most authentic, traditional materials to recreate the sought after vintage tone.

Bodies and Necks 

From October 2020, we are outsourcing manufacture of our bodies and necks to business partners in the UK and Japan.  We have been involved in every stage of selection and production in order to ensure our bodies and necks are made to our exacting specifications and Master grade standards. 

The bodies and necks supplied by our manufacturers are unfinished with bare wood.  Each body and neck receive the same care and attention as each hand made body and neck produced to date by Fraser Guitars.  Our quality control, inspection, sanding, polishing, all fret work, all nitro finishes and all ageing will continue to be carried out by us, in-house.

Please note: our Master Series and specified Custom orders will continue to incorporate bodies and necks made in-house. 

When purchasing from the In Stock collection, the guitar/body/neck in the images will be the item you will receive. 

When purchasing a guitar form our Made to Order section, the photos on the listing show the model and a fair example of the guitar you will receive.  Each body is hand-selected to compliment the relic level and there will inevitably be variations in the wood grain and finish. Each guitar is then individually hand-sprayed in nitrocellulose and aged according to the product listing description. No two guitars will look the same! Custom shop guitars are aged to preference. 

Customers are welcome to provide photos for reference purposes. While we aim to work closely with any images provided, we do not work form templates so all our guitars are unique and individual.

Appointments can be made to view and try out a range of our guitars via info@fraserguitars.co.uk or 07709231952.

We are in the workshop from 8 am - 5 pm Monday - Friday, Saturday 8 am - 1 pm.

We do not offer a "drop in" option as we may be operating machinery or spraying. 

Appointments will be made at a time convenient for both.

We have a large social media following via Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

The standard build period for 'Made to Order' guitars is 10-12 weeks (from clearance of deposit to completion of guitar).

The turnaround time however, can vary during busy periods.

We will confirm the current wait times on enquiry and prior to confirming an order.

A completion date will be confirmed when we receive your order.

If the date of completion is likely to vary, we will inform you at the earliest opportunity.

While we provide photos of your order on completion, we are unable to provide periodic photographs of your order during the build process.   

If we were to provide photos at every stage of the build process, for every guitar ordered, we would spend a larger part of our time taking photos as opposed to making guitars. 

Please note: this does not apply to Custom orders where we work on a customers individual design.

We take a limited number of Custom orders at any given time.

Custom orders are subject to agreement of build specifications.

Please emails all enquiries to info@fraserguitars.co.uk

Lead times for Custom orders vary depending on project specifications and will be confirmed on agreement of your specifications.

We will work closely with you to ensure a guitar that will be perfect for your own playing style and needs.

Photos of ongoing production and consultation are accessible at every stage of the build process.
