ABOUT E&D GUITARS

E&D Guitars started as Elliott's String Essentials, which later became ESE Guitars. Based in Tiverton, founded by Liam and Jessyka Elliott. Production began building guitars out of Liam's garage, which quickly found a local audience and picked up traction across the UK. After a few years of production, in early 2026, the company founded the ESE guitar store, located in the center of Tiverton, allowing the company to operate from a central hub selling custom builds, pre owned guitars, strings and other essential guitar equipment.

The Future of the company...

Further into 2026, ESE Guitars Re branded as E&D Guitars / Elliott and Davey Guitars. Securing a bigger workshop, more personnel and more equipment to provide more musicians their very own bespoke guitars. Also launching the E&D Standard range, allowing the creation of a line of guitars designed, spec'd and produced entirely by us at E&D.

At it's core, E&D is still the same family run, small bespoke guitar company that began many years ago, with Liam and Jess wanting to spend more time with their children, family and friends. Their passion for crafting the highest quality of hand made instruments has allowed their team to expand and increase production, all while retaining that family focus and community driven feel E&D hopes to bring to their client's.

OUR WORKSHOP

Our home, where your guitars come to life. Our workshop is our hub, used for the creation of the E&D Custom Shop guitars and also our new E&D Standard Series guitars.

Later this year, the E&D workshop will also be the home of our hand wound pickups, with the space allowing us to dedicate more resources and a larger team to our pickup range.
