About:
MG Custom Guitars was setup by Michael Gough in 2014. With a background as a Chartered Engineer and a passion for 'all things guitar' MG Custom Guitars specialises in custom-built, electric guitars featuring premium materials throughout, hand-finished to reveal the beauty of the instrument both visually and aurally, and superb playability. Once played - never forgotten.
Since 2017 MG Custom Guitars has been located at Castle Park Arts Centre, Frodsham. The dedicated workshop hosts the Custom Shop allowing customers to come and try current stock instruments and discuss requirements for future projects. The workshop is also the location for 'Build Your Own' (BYO) Guitar Weekends, Saturday Setup Workshops, and 'a Day in the Workshop' services.
