SVL '61 Reserve Salmon

"SVL Guitars is now based in the leafy countryside of Hampshire, a small operation (Just Me) based on great customer service and a quest for the perfect guitar with the perfect tone.
Simon Law set up SVL Guitars after having worked as a professional guitar repairman and amp tech for over 16 years. He became more disappointed with the so called ‘custom shop’ and ‘boutique’ guitars he was working on day to day..

“They all seemed too hung up on looking the part and being very pretty than actually playing well and sounding incredible, from all my years of working on prized vintage guitars, the one thing that set them apart was their outstanding tone and feel, a really great guitar should inspire the player and even help evoke one’s individuality”

“I took the inspiration from these great vintage instruments and I hope an SVL guitar gives the player the same tangible feel and great tone”
Each guitar is built one at a time from the very finest sustainable tone woods, every guitar is sprayed from the wood up with ultra thin coats of nitro cellulose, this helps the wood to breath and remain very resonant, absolutely no poly finish is used on the guitars at all, the necks are finished the same way, and then treated to a proprietary finishing process to give them a beautiful played in feel.

“My finishes are so lovely and thin and they will age fairly quickly anyway giving a much more natural graceful age to the guitar, I will ‘de-shine’ the hardware if required."
