The Guitar Workshop

Established in 2015, by Scottish luthier Ian Dickinson, the workshop opened its doors on Argyle Street in Glasgows west end and quickly gained a reputation for quality repair work and fine hand crafted instruments. After 7 years it was time for a change and in spring of 2022 work began on a new workshop in the southside of Glasgow and was completed in August that year. Having joined forces with Isaac Kahir (Cranmer Guitars) the new workshop presents a change in both location and how the workshop operates. A co-operative venture between Ian and Isaac where they share the space and run their own businesses independently of each other along with long term bench space for another two luthiers.The following years were spent repairing and restoring instruments for various shops, studio and private customers whilst working as head technician for major Scottish based guitar manufacturer; this experience allowed me to start my own business and quickly gain loyal customers and a strong reputation The new workshop will see me focus on building more but i will still be doing plenty or repairs and if i have been looking after your guitars for a while then that will remain the same.
