At Shepherd Guitars, I believe the best way to showcase a handmade instrument is to put it in the hands of musicians who will truly play it.
Every Shepherd guitar is individually handcrafted in Sussex using carefully selected woods and quality hardware, with a focus on playability, tone and individuality. Each instrument is built to be played, not simply displayed.
The Shepherd Guitars Artist Programme is designed to support passionate musicians by giving them the opportunity to use a handcrafted Shepherd guitar or bass for rehearsals, recording sessions and live performances. In return, I simply ask that artists share their genuine experiences through their music and social media.
This isn't about scripted endorsements or celebrity sponsorships. It's about building lasting relationships with musicians who appreciate quality craftsmanship and want to be part of the Shepherd Guitars story.
If you're interested in joining the Shepherd Guitars Artist Programme, I'd love to hear from you. Get in touch for an informal chat, and I'll be happy to explain how the programme works and whether it could be the right fit for both of us.
