Building Guitars
I started out building acoustic guitars in the mid sixties
and, by the time I started business in the mid seventies,
I'd come to realise that many of the players I found interesting
also played electric guitar.
I soon came to believe that all guitars are
"acoustic" - solid body electrics just aren't so
loud! |

A guitar string vibrates according to what it's attached
to. Make a concrete guitar and it'll sound like a concrete
guitar! Pickups simply amplify what the strings are doing,
according to what they're attached to.
These days we mostly make acoustics and our neck-through
body (plank neck) guitars, but I've included our bolt-on-neck
models also. We made lots of these in the "selling to
the shops" days and still take orders for them. |
Serious Players Use Noyce Guitars
Here's a short list of
professional musicians who have purchased Noyce
Guitars over the years. Selling guitars to "name" pro
players has never
been easy because:
- They don't make anywhere near the money people assume
they do!
- As their name looms larger, there are lots of manufacturers
queuing up to give them free guitars
|
Some of these names are well known in their own right and some
are "sidemen" - the unsung heroes of the business.
