My name is Allen McFarlen, and I build custom guitars and ukuleles out of my workshop located in Cairns, Australia.
Every instrument is fully hand made from select timbers and finished to the highest of standards.
Owning a hand built instrument made to your specifications is easier than you may think.
I'm happy to discuss your options and ideas for a custom built instrument. It's just part of the service that you should expect when commissioning a build, or buying an instrument that I have in stock.
As well, I offer instruction on instrument building one on one, and small classes of up to 4 in my workshop. Larger classes of up to 14 students can be catered too with adequate prior notice. Check out the Classes page of the website.

"The Style 5 parlor, it is absolutely wonderful and of course will only get better with age. Once again thank you so much for a truly beautiful instrument."
