The United Kingdoms No 1 For Custom
made Guitars, Repairs and Paintwork.
Dan MacPherson started working on Guitars at the age of fourteen under the guidance of master Luthier Steve Smith who made the Heart and Heartwood guitars as well as the early Goodfellow basses. Working at weekends and also after school it didn't take long for Dan to learn the rudiments of the trade in which he would make his living.
In 1990 D.M. Guitars was established, and with the wealth of knowledge gained working for Steve Smith, Dan MacPherson was able to continue working on his own providing a first class service as a guitar maker and repairer.
By 1995 D.M. Guitars had become a major player in the British
Guitar industry as D.M. Guitars was now providing paintwork for some of
the most recognisable names in the business, as well as continuing to
make Guitars and provide a full repair service.
In 2003 D.M. Guitars moved to a new larger workshop, which would incorporate the new Luthier supplies section of the company. Continuing to provide paintwork for some of Britain's well known Luthiers and brand names, D.M. Guitars now also provides these company's with timber, bodies and necks.
Due to the overwhelming success of the Luthier supplies section of D.M Guitars a new Company was established in 2007 to take over all the Luthier supplies - Tonetech Ltd will be able to offer a far greater range of products with a dedicated sales team and online store.
