Ryan Gibson is an award winning young luthier based in Stirlingshire, Scotland. Ryan began his career as a musician rather than a maker, studying at the Guitar Institute in London.

After finding that the guitars currently on the market could not fulfil his ever increasing musical demands, Ryan set out on making his own. Following 2 years of study on the Stringed Instrument Making Course at Anniesland College in Glasgow, Ryan embarked on a career in the field of guitar lutherie.

Ryan’s guitars earned him the Overall Prize for Musical Instruments at the annual Craftex event in Glasgow, and he now enjoys a successful career as a full time guitar luthier.
