About Us
Gordon-Smith Guitars are handcrafted guitars made in the small town of Partington near Manchester, UK. Established for more than 25 years now, it is the longest running contemporary guitar company in England.

Gordon-Smith Guitars are to England as Gibson Guitars are to the USA
The company name is made up of the first name of one of the original partners ‘Gordon’ and the last name of the other partner ‘Smith’. Only the ‘Smith’ part of the partnership remains now; in the shape of John Smith assisted by his wife Linda Smith.
John Smith is a remarkable luthier and Gordon-Smith Guitars are fine examples of his craftsmanship. They are attractive, solidly built, practical, well designed, yet simple and extremely playable. Yet they are still reasonably priced for working musicians.
We like to make guitars not furniture, our products are like the Zippo lighter, there’s nothing to go wrong, so they don't
Guitars have been the workhorses of many British/European pro and semi-pro bands over the past 25 years and long may Gordon-Smith Guitars continue the tradition.
