About Us

image0 (3).jpeg — Welcome to Parkhurst Guitars,

I’m Jake, the founder of Parkhurst Guitars and No. 19 Pickups.
I’ve had a huge interest in guitars and woodwork from a very young age, as I grew up I decided that I wanted to build and service guitars. I’ve always found great satisfaction in taking an instrument that needs love, and giving it the TLC it deserves to getting it playing beautifully again!
I’ve been repairing and servicing guitars for around 10 years now. In recent years, I’ve started building custom guitar models and launched a guitar pickup company (which I wind by hand in the heart of my workshop!). I made my first exhibition appearance at The London International Guitar Show in 2019.

My workshop door is always open, whatever you need, please don’t hesitate to get in touch…I’d be happy to help!

📍 I am located in Southampton, Hampshire.

“Jake is a consummate professional and well worth the money you spend. He knows his stuff about guitars and has personally set up all of mine. He's got a lot of knowledge and even when it comes to consultations on what equipment to buy you can trust his honest and expert opinion.” - Jack Scott Denton
