Guitars made for the rich and famous in Penrith

Cumbria is home to many skilled craftsmen and women but guitar and mandolin making is perhaps one of the less well known businesses being run here.

A guitar maker based in Penrith is celebrating over 40 years of making instruments professionally.

Roger Bucknall has crafted guitars for many celebrities, including Sting and Mick Jagger.

Roger is passionate about making instruments. He made his first guitar when he was nine years old.

Roger sources wood and other materials from all over the world.

David Buckingham is one of Roger's latest customers. He is a professional guitarist who lives in London.

He heard about Roger's talent through a friend.

Roger and his team make about 130 instruments a year. Many are made to order and are completely unique.
