About Lloyd Guitars
We Make The Guitars We Love
That make the music we love
Lloyd Guitars
From BB King to The Beatles to Clapton to Oasis and beyond, premium acoustics and Semi Hollow guitars have provided the tone and resonance that transforms songs and players from good to great. But the best ones are VERY expensive!
Or they were..
Do you want a beautifully finished guitar, made of solid tonal woods with hand sanded frets? Do you want 14 layers of paint applied over 3 days with bridges and pickups that stand comparison to the big names?
If you do, you're in the right place.
Semi Hollow Classics
SD001 - We don't shy away from the inspiration we've taken from the classic Gibson ES-335 design with our SD001, as Noel Gallagher said, 'if I hear a similarity, I go towards it'. We only shy away from the prices the established brands charge.
We lovingly designed and lovingly make these guitars to give you the premium experience. This guitar is the foundation of our business, And is, we believe, ground breaking in the quality / price market for this style of guitar.
SD101 - This beautiful instrument is the reason we started making guitars! Built to the same exacting standards as the SD001, using the same woods and hardware, the unique experience of playing a quality semi hollow guitar is no longer restricted to adults and those who prefer a smaller guitar!
Semi Hollow Evolutionary Bass
MD001 - We wondered why the classic shape of our 6 string hadn't been used on a bass. So we thought we'd find out. And it's amazing!
Made of solid maple with a maple centre block and acoustics that made a successful musician tell us he felt like he'd 'been playing a plank of wood till now'!
Electro Acoustic
TD001 - As much as we adore our Semi Hollows, every guitarist needs an acoustic at some point. So we thought we should make a guitar that would make established brands wince with the quality and price we give. With all solid woods selected for their superb tonal qualities and high quality electronics, we are supremely confident that we are offering a guitar that not only professionals will love, but is priced to be as attainable as possible to all.
