Jake P Fuller
Classical Guitar Maker
Jake Fuller. Classical guitar maker. I have been a classical guitar maker since leaving the London Guildhall University where I studied Musical Instrument Technology. During this time I have developed my own ideas and methods of the guitars design, my aim being to produce instruments with power, balance and a character which is unique. On this site you can see my recent work and I will endeavour to describe my techniques and approach to classical guitar making.
As a maker I have always thought about ways of introducing different techniques to the guitars construction in an attempt to produce unique musical instruments of top quality. A particular area which I am developing is the introduction of a sound-post inside the guitar which I believe is helping me achieve my aims.
Hi Jake. I was lucky enough to get one of your concert models, number 51, a few years back. It was in Brian keans shop in greenwich. It is full of surprises, I often use it as a Flamenco with composite strings. Brilliant projection, many people have tried to buy it from me after a recital, but thers no way I will part with it.
Congratulations on being a brilliant luthier.
When I raise enough dosh I want a cutaway Flamenco to my specification. We spoke about this a couple of years ago.
Good luck and god bless.
John.
