I’M GARY NAVA, A PROFESSIONAL LUTHIER MAKING MANDOLINS AND GUITARS BY HAND, TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS, IN MY ANALOGUE WORKSHOP. HERE ARE VARIOUS TALES FROM MY WORK BENCH.
So, to complete the story, the Guyatone LG50 now has a new home. I was extremely pleased that it was purchased by a player who had owned one in the 1960’s and had fond memories of it. The restoration was an enjoyable project and the icing on the cake is to know that it is now with someone who really appreciates it.

Hi, I make mostly mandolins and guitars, entirely by myself and by hand. Although I’m based in the Norfolk Fens, my instruments can be found all over the world. I made my first guitar when I was 14 and during the 1970s studied luthiery at the prestigious London College of Furniture. I’ve been making them ever since!

Not that long ago, I made a Paul Seller's wall clock as shown on YouTube for a silent auction at our local church. The person who won it was talking excitedly about it and didn't realize I had made it. I don't sell my items (mostly gifts or items for my home) so this was the first time I experienced someone genuinely liking and appreciating an item I made. It was a really nice feeling.
