Based in Yarm, North East of England, Sam McClaren handcrafts bespoke guitars of his own design.
Each Guitar is tailored to the individual player, with comfort, shape, body size and set up key priorities. Using only the finest of materials which paired together, create the perfect instrument for each customer harmonious in both sound and design.

"I would like to take a moment to invite you to take a look or even better, try one of these guitars made by a talented young maker from England. I had the good fortune to meet Sam McClaren in Glasgow and tried his guitars extensively. Sam has a clear vision and already a distinguishable voice in the land of guitar making"
Jan Depreter - Professional Classical Guitarist
"I played a Sam McClaren guitar in my concert at the Ullapool Guitar Festival. Sam's guitar (steel string acoustic) combines a highly musical open and responsive sound with ease of playability; In my experience a rare combination. I didn't want to put this one down."
Robert Foster - Composer and Musician
